New Chapter of Requirements & API - Interface Definition Languages (IDL)

A new chapter in the Requirements & API series continues uncovering API design specifics. This time, we look closer into IDLs (Interface Definition Languages).

I examine OpenAPI as an industry standard, Microsoft-powered rival TypeSpec, and an underdog JSight. They have a similar purpose but achieve that in very different ways.

We are approaching the end of the journey. In 2025, one more article will describe API workflows.

For now, that's it for 2024. Of course, there will be an overview reflecting on the past year and sharing some plans for the upcoming one.

Stay tuned!
