Introduction

Postman is an API platform for building and using APl. Postman simplifies every step of the API lifecycle and simplifies collaboration, so you can create better APIs faster. It is a powerful Chrome plugin for webpage debugging and sending HTTP requests. It is mainly used to simulate network request packets, quickly create requests, replay and manage requests, and verify the correctness of data returned by the interface.

API repository: Easily store, catalog, and collaborate all API artifacts on a central platform. Postman can store and manage API specifications, documents, workflow recipes, test cases and results, metrics, and all other API related content

Tools: The Postman platform includes a comprehensive set of tools that help accelerate the API lifecycle - from design, testing, documentation, and simulation to the sharing and discoverability of your APL.

Governance: Postman's full lifecycle governance approach allows adopters to change their development practices, resulting in higher quality APl and promoting collaboration between the developer team and the AP design team.

Workplace: The Postman workspace can help you organize API work and collaborate within your organization or worldwide. There are four different mailman work areas to meet your different needs: individual, team, partner, and public work areas.

Integration: Integrating Postman with the most important tool in the software development pipeline to achieve API first practices. The Postman platform can also be extended through the Postman API and open source technology

The specific functions of Postman are as follows:

    ·Support various types of requests, such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, etc.

    ·Support online storage of data, and data migration can be done through an account.
