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
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
