| Best use | Ideal for a solo developer or small team that wants API collections and tests beside the code with Git review. Use it for repeatable REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket checks—not live cloud collaboration or load testing. | Best for a developer or analyst extracting text from several document formats before search or supplying selected passages to an AI agent. It provides a repeatable CLI command and Python library, while requiring review against the original. It is not intended for layout-perfect document publishing. | For documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. |
