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
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
