Node.js 20 is now available
The standard is express. I say that with some glibness, but its the only true answer: a ton of the other higher level frameworks and pluggable middlewares still rely on the core express Request/Response types. And there are a ton of higher level frameworks, if the number of distinct replies wasn't obvious.
I really like express + routing-controllers [1], if you're on typescript.

Do you use Swagger/OpenAPI to document your APIs? If so, what is your preferred way to generate the docs?
I currently use https://github.com/typestack/routing-controllers and https://github.com/epiphone/routing-controllers-openapi with https://github.com/Redocly/redoc

Creating a web server with typescript, should I go for express or fastify? Which one has better packages for typescript integration? Any recommendations for packages for each?
If I don’t want to use nest then I would use express or koa with routing-controllers. Using this package you can write controllers with classes and decorators which is similar to nest js. There are a lot of other features too.

Best DX to write OpenAPI documentation
For this task, we are going to use swagger-jscode. It says that it is to write Swagger, old name of OpenAPI, inside jsdoc, like below
- How do i document my api ?
-
NodeJS API Documentation
js doc style comments support
-
Automatic swagger ui for nodejs/express? (Info in comments)
There's swagger-ui-express which can work with swagger-jsdoc.

Do you use Swagger/OpenAPI to document your APIs? If so, what is your preferred way to generate the docs?
If so, how do you go about generating the interface files? I recently discovered swaggo which generates OpenAPI docs from Go annotations. My Googlefoo then led me to swagger-jsdoc and openapi-comment-parser which do the same thing from JSdoc-like comments. Do you use them, do you use some other module, or do you use some other approach entirely?

How do you create API's for front end engineers?
Express by itself lacks a lot of metadata useful for generating OpenAPI spec, you'll end up writing a lot of non-standard doc comments. You want to use something like swagger-jsdoc to generate the spec and then some other package to generate the UI.

Adding a Swagger UI page to your Express REST API
This article is a continuation of a series about how to build a REST API in Node.js. In the preceding article of this series we added request and response validation that is based on an OpenAPI spec of the API. We used the swagger-jsdoc package to generate this OpenAPI spec from comments in our code that annotate the REST operations.

Adding request and response validation to your Express REST API
The swagger-jsdoc package enables us to do this. It looks for JSDoc comments in code (annotated with an @openapi tag) to generate the OpenAPI specification.
What are some alternatives?
tsoa - Build OpenAPI-compliant REST APIs using TypeScript and Node
swagger-ui-express - Adds middleware to your express app to serve the Swagger UI bound to your Swagger document. This acts as living documentation for your API hosted from within your app.
nestjs-commander - A module for using NestJS to build up CLI applications
express-openapi-validator - 🦋 Auto-validates api requests, responses, and securities using ExpressJS and an OpenAPI 3.x specification
fastify-openapi-glue - A plugin for the Fastify webserver to autogenerate a Fastify configuration based on a OpenApi(v2/v3) specification.
websocket-typescript
JSDoc - An API documentation generator for JavaScript.
openapi-typescript - Generate TypeScript types from OpenAPI 3 specs
fastify-swagger - Swagger documentation generator for Fastify
