My main use case for postman like tools is to get me into the middle of a workflow to reproduce some sort of a scenario. Stateless tools just don't do it, as I need to spend a long time copying things around.



Swagger and its derivatives support example requests and auth. How does postman do it differently I haven't used it in years?


Allows arbitrary scripts to save the context of requests. Hardcoded examples you can't change without committing in contract are not even close to that functionality.
