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
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
