## What it is
Firecamp is an open-source, developer-first API development platform for designing, testing, and documenting REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and SocketIO APIs. It serves as a Postman/Insomnia alternative with team collaboration, collections, and desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

## Use cases
- test rest apis like postman but open source
- debug websocket and socket.io endpoints
- send graphql queries in a playground
- collaborate on api collections with my team
- test api authentication endpoints
- replace postman with a self-hostable api client

## When to choose
- you want an open-source Postman/Insomnia alternative with multi-protocol support
- your team needs shared API collections and collaborative workspaces
- you test REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and SocketIO APIs in one tool

## When to avoid
- you need fully offline usage without any cloud sign-in
- you require CLI-only or scripted API testing without a GUI
- AGPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your project
