Comment on Show HN: Auto-generate an OpenAPI spec by listening to localhost

Comments

A nice tool for research, or for documenting third-party APIs. Let's not forget, though, that one of the goals of OpenAPI is to serve as a design and documentation artifact in design-first API development; generating OpenAPI from code or, as in this case, from network traffic, is an interesting complement and something you can use to test the implementation against the design.

It makes sense, and we love API-first companies. How are frameworks prioritizing this? Seen DRF and lite star but seemed like this was needed to help at places we worked/API market reports about companies that hadn't put those standards in yet
