Simple syntax to model APIs. RAML allows rapid development of APIs with an easy syntax that can scale from hobby projects to enterprise applications. RAML allows you to see how your API will look as you design it using plain text. You can not only improve your API design but also create a functional mockup for your customers, partners, and even internal engineers to review. RAML allows engineers and developers to do what they love most - write code. There's no need to guess or make a mistake halfway through your API. You can also reduce time to market and bug-based headaches by using the many tools that are available to help you create the basic structure of your API. You can stop spending hours creating and maintaining API documentation.
