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

Wasp uses a simple DSL to define full-stack web apps — routes, auth, background jobs, email. Compiles to React + Node.js + Prisma. Configuration over code.
Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
