eta (η) VS API Platform

ERDIA uses the ETA template engine to generate documentation. The reason for using a template engine is that it allows you to customize the documentation the way you want it. If you want to customize documentation that ERDIA generates run the following command.

Just stumbled on this: https://github.com/eta-dev/eta

Eta : a lightweight and blazing fast embedded JS templating engine that works inside Node, Deno, and the browser.

I've been using Eta: https://eta.js.org/

It doesn't do gzip or image optimization, but such features might be better suited as server middlewares separate from the template engine.

Haven’t used it yet, but Eta supports Deno: https://eta.js.org/

Eta is a very similar template engine to EJS. It's supposed to be faster, lighter, with async templates.

Probably API-platform. The website is down at the moment, but: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform It's Symfony based (and plays nice in that ecosystem), also allows you to describe entities via Schema org vocab, has a client generator, and comes with docker-compose and helm charts. I've used it extensively to build various headless services. It's really easy to expose annotated Doctrine entities.

API Platform is a framework for API-first projects, built on top of Symfony components. Let's see how to create a minimal and lightweight starter project in just 5 minutes!

Just use a nice framework like Symfony and for an API there is a nice thing called API Platform

On the Symfony side, a headless API can be built really quickly with https://api-platform.com/. You describe your domain entities with Schema.org vocabulary, can use a client generator to hammer out a UI in Next, Nuxt, Quasar, or whatever as a starter, it comes with an admin backend, and a Helm chart to deploy on Kubernetes. Works great for APIs when paired with, say Nuxt SSGs/PWAs if you want more of a JAMstack approach.

It could be implemented with STOMP, or Mercure (goes well with API-Platform, written in PHP/Symfony), you could write your own with the help of nchan and scale it via Redis. If it's a web service, the best practices for operating and scaling are well established, Godot then just becomes another client.

Why would someone use this over API Platform?

That looks like out-of-the-box api-platform. It even auto-updates the data on screen, no JS needed. Pretty powerful stuff and if it can be done in PHP, it can be done in other language.
