Postman <\/a>is an easy-to-use software that aids developers in building their APIs. Throughout the years I have been developing backend APIs, my life wouldn't have been easier without Postman. In this blog, I will demonstrate some of the basic features of Postman that anyone can easily start using. These features include API calls, environment, and testing.<\/p>\n
