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
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
