OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) is the standard for describing REST APIs. Swagger UI for documentation, codegen for clients/servers, and a massive ecosystem of tools.
Reviewer scorecard
“Component isolation done right. Independent versioning and testing per component is how design systems should work.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“The learning curve is steep and the tooling has rough edges. Storybook + npm packages achieve 80% of the value.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Component discovery and documentation are excellent. Designers can browse and understand available components easily.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
