Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
