Pros and Cons	Highly flexible & versatile, suitable for various platforms and businesses, with efficient API management. Good documentation and active developer community support. Easy to set up and deploy, with plugin-oriented architecture for enhanced extensibility. Open source nature, providing access to built-in plugins and great community support. Provides API gateway solutions for implementing and managing APIs efficiently. Interface can be slow and intimidating for novice users. Limited support for certain popular languages like Python, Ruby, or JavaScript for plugin development. Lacks a built-in UI or administration panel, making it less user-friendly for non-programmers.
