Postman to HTML
Convert Postman collections to readable HTML documentation in one step.
The problem
Postman is great for API development, but sharing documentation with non-engineers means either opening up the workspace or copying and pasting into a doc manually. Neither felt right for a clean handoff.
The build
A React app that takes a Postman Collection JSON file and generates structured HTML documentation with endpoint summaries, request details, and example payloads. Deployable as a static site — no backend required.
What I learned
01
Postman's collection format evolved across versions — handling both v2 and v2.1 gracefully requires defensive parsing
02
Treating the collection JSON as React state makes the HTML generation straightforward — it maps naturally to the component tree
