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
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
