“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“React Native's new architecture and Expo's tooling make it the clear winner for cross-platform mobile development.”
