As for the actual process of building the contract, what works well for me is using API Blueprint-style Markdown in a compatible tool like Apiary, which renders your content into Swagger-like documentation as you type. This way, I and others can mutually "live-scribe" the API contract as we discuss, and seeing it on-screen helps to get people on the same page (and sometimes highlight potential issues that would...

A common complaint about OpenAPI is that it’s difficult to learn and to read. Consequently, over the years we’ve seen many alternatives to OpenAPI, such as RAML, WADL, API Blueprint, and others.

Talking about PHP there is less and less mentioning of Full-stack. Fields of work have long been divided and PHP has taken an honorable place at the backend. Therefore learning HTML isn't a requirement for us but rather an optimization. What is really important is to clearly understand how to implement interaction with the front-end. Essential things in this area for us are REST and JSON API. Web-browser might be... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
There is also https://apiblueprint.org/ that I really enjoyed working with even by hand writing the underlying specs and using their proposed docs generators. But it was almost 2 years ago so not sure what is the state of it now. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
