The tooliing available around API Blueprint provides a minmalist view at what is needed when it comes to the APII lifecycle. It is the basics of what you need to be API-first. If the specification hadn't been acquired as part of the Oracle acquisition of Apiary, the tooling would have continued to evolve. While not a leading contender in the space, I still look back at API Blueprint with.
