June 22, 2022, AUSTIN, Texas — Stoplight, the global API design company, announced its position as a market leader in the newly released G2 Summer 2022 Grid Report for API Design. Products in the Leader quadrant in the Grid® Report are rated highly by G2 users and have substantial Satisfaction and Market Presence scores.
Stoplight was also recognized as a Momentum Leader in the API Design category. Momentum Leaders highlight “each product’s Momentum score on the vertical axis and the product’s Satisfaction score on the horizontal axis. These scores are based on G2’s Satisfaction and Momentum algorithms.”
API Design is the planning and architectural decisions you make when building an API, leading to a better user experience. Design maturity at an organization allows internal and external developers to more quickly and easily consume and use that organization’s APIs.
Stoplight is listed among three other leaders in API Design, and 95% of Stoplight users rated it between 4-5 stars. 86% of users were likely to recommend Stoplight. Stoplight’s highest-rated features included: design management, access control, and visibility.
