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
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
