Fern VS StopLight

Lots of these have been popping up lately, they all seem really good. https://buildwithfern.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

Thank you for your encouraging words and insights! There are indeed popular DSLs and code to openapi solutions out there. Many of which are easy to plug in to the openapi-stack libraries btw! I guess I personally always found it frustrating to try to control the generated OpenAPI output using additional tooling and ended up preferring yaml + a visualisation tool as the api design workflow. (e.g. Swagger editor)... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Fern (YC W23) | Founding Engineer | New York City | $125k-$175k + equity | Full Time | Open Source | https://buildwithfern.com REST APIs underpin the internet but are still painful to work with. They are often untyped, unstandardized, and out-of-sync across multiple sources of truth. With Fern, we aim to bring great developer experiences to REST APIs. Our stack is Next.js +... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I think part of why tRPC shines is because it's tightly coupled to TypeScript (and especially Zod, its schema validation library of choice - many of its features map 1:1 onto TypeScript concepts that don't exist in many other languages), which means it can avoid many of the issues that OpenAPI generators have. I'd also like to see a good TS-first OpenAPI client - Fern [0] is probably the closest I've seen.... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

For cross-language, I can recommend Fern, which works with OpenAPI http://buildwithfern.com. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Stoplight - Saas for collaboratively designing and documenting for APIs. The free plan offers free design, mocking, and documentation tools. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

Spotlight has a pretty strong brand name for API dev tool - https://stoplight.io/ Could be confusion. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

However, we do not need to write the specification by hand, as there are GUI editors to perform that task. We show a couple of examples of Spotlight, which provides an easy-to-use interface:. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

We use Stoplight Studio https://stoplight.io/ to design APIs, one of the advantages of Stoplight Studio is the Visual interface, it generates OpenAPI specs from the design and supports OpenAPI v3, allowing users to create, edit, and view API designs using the OpenAPI standard. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

I'm sorry, but you have completely misunderstood the purpose of Open API. It is not a specification to define your business logic classes and objects -- either client or server side. Its goal is to define the interface of an API, and to provide a single source of truth that requests and responses can be validated against. It contains everything you need to know to make requests to an API; code... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
