+#### Postman collections
+
+The generator automatically creates a Postman collection file, which you can import to use within your [Postman App](https://www.getpostman.com/apps) for even simpler API testing and usage.
+
+If you don't want to create a Postman collection, use the `--noPostmanCollection` option, when generating the API documentation.
