OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) is the standard for describing REST APIs. Swagger UI for documentation, codegen for clients/servers, and a massive ecosystem of tools.

Dagger lets you write CI/CD pipelines in your programming language — TypeScript, Python, Go. Runs locally and in any CI. No more YAML.
Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
