Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
