What to use instead?

I've been doing API testing lately and I've found that RAML is the only supported way to do it. The only drawback is that you have to be aware of its limitations, which is no problem when you're doing API testing, but as soon as you want to use a commercial solution that consumes RAML files, you're in trouble.

One way to get around it would be to not use RAML, but rather use something like jASON, but the question is: what to use instead? RAML is great for testing, but it's not suitable for production. That is, RAML is only for the development/testing environment.

We use RAML at work to test APIs. We also use Swagger 2, which is a much better way to write RESTful APIs. It's well documented and easy to understand.

In fact, we found that it was much easier to learn how to use Swagger 2 than it was to learn RAML. We also use JSON Schema, which is a specification for validating JSON responses. It's really easy to use and very simple.

Swagger 2 is definitely better for API testing, but it will require an investment of time to learn. For most RESTful APIs, however, it will be a better solution.
