Analyzing the OpenAPI Tooling Ecosystem

1. fastapi

   1 549 86,522 9.8 Python

   FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production

   

   If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend to check FastAPI for your python backend: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/. OpenAPI is a core part of it, making it simple to integrate with other tools such as docs and clients generator

2. InfluxDB

3. starlette

   2 72 11,133 9.0 Python

   The little ASGI framework that shines. 🌟

   

   Or you can go straight to Starlette [0], which is much more streamlined to develop with. FastAPI is based on it itself, and while it provides many additional bells and whistles I find it messes things up significantly.

4. redoc

   3 40 24,559 7.6 TypeScript

   📘 OpenAPI/Swagger-generated API Reference Documentation

   

   OpenAPI is great, we use it in combination with redoc (https://github.com/Redocly/redoc) to have a almost 0 effort API for our product.

   But man, my tokenizer is in trouble with OpenAPI and OpenAI.

5. progenitor

   4 2 680 9.4 Rust

   An OpenAPI client generator

   

   The code generators for OpenAPI are rarely good compared to what you find in GraphQL in my experience. The Swagger Generator / OpenAPI Generator (why the fork...) that is the "standard" is kinda of a mess.

   In rust Oxide had to write their own [1] which is actually decent, but you really need to know it exists.

6. zod-openapi

   5 1 441 8.9 TypeScript

   Use Zod Schemas to create OpenAPI v3.x documentation

   

   You might like zod-openapi (https://github.com/samchungy/zod-openapi). You write Zod schemas which, on their own, are a great way to define a validation and de/serialization layer in your API and you then can additionally use them to generate an OpenAPI doc.
