The following "JFX In Action" interview gives insights into a new open-source JavaFX project: Swaggerific. It's created by Özkan Pakdil, who tells us more about this Postman alternative to interact with REST endpoints documented with a Swagger JSON.

About Swaggerific
Özkan decided to create an open-source alternative to Postman. He didn't have much experience yet with JavaFX and decided to use this project to learn more about it. The tool can open a Swagger URL and displays a tree view with the available calls. In the UI you can define paramaters and get a nice visual representation of the JSON output.
Özkan is looking for people to join the project! Let him know if you want to contribute to the development of Swaggerific. There are still many parts throwing a "not implemented exception" waiting for you ;-)
You can find the sources on GitHub.
