Modern API tools
(lemmy.world)
this is the first meme I have ever made (yes I am that old) - so be gentle :)
what does being modern mean to you?
Oh my god my biggest pet peeve is every single new project awarding itself "modern, lightweight, blazing fast". Seeing these words actually negatively affects my perception of your new super cool project. Along with the fucking emojis.
aka:
Modern: "I couldn't understand the codebase of the previous solution, so I rewrote it using stuff I'm familiar with"
Lightweight: "Featureless/no features that I don't use"
Blazing fast: "Doesn't have any edge cases handled yet"
To be fair a lot of these things are js. I could probably write a new one faster than I could understand the existing code base.
Unfortunately I agree but there are a few that are different, for example have you tried Voiden ( https://voiden.md/) maybe? We opensourced a few weeks back.
I have not.
Though honestly I rarely use these types of tools as a back end dev.
For my own code I'm likely to use curl or maybe fetch depending.
The times I do reach for these it's usually someone else's API that I'm looking it. If they offer an openapi spec I can import then I will.
They do !
Here's how to get started : https://docs.voiden.md/docs/getting-started-section/getting-started/openapi-imports
eh, how modern is it?
