## What it is
A Node.js library and CLI tool that converts OpenAPI 3.0, 3.1, and Swagger 2.0 specifications into Postman Collection (v2) format. It can be used programmatically as a module or via the openapi2postmanv2 command-line interface.

## Use cases
- convert openapi spec to postman collection
- generate postman collection from swagger json
- import openapi 3.0 yaml into postman
- sync existing postman collection with updated openapi spec
- automate api collection generation in ci pipeline
- validate openapi spec before conversion

## When to choose
- you maintain API documentation in OpenAPI/Swagger and want Postman collections for testing
- you need programmatic conversion via a Node.js module
- you want to keep Postman collections in sync with spec changes
- you need a CLI tool for batch or CI-based spec conversion

## When to avoid
- you need to convert Postman collections back to OpenAPI specs
- you work with API formats other than OpenAPI/Swagger
- you need a GUI-based import experience rather than a tool
