Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.
We consider Postman as one of the popular REST Web API's client, the others are Swagger and Fiddler (you can get related info from references below), which are what I am familiar with and used. Therefore, I will include this article in my Swagger series articles:
