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
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
