Specification-Driven Development of REST APIs
summary
Tooling shows how a compact, human syntax converts into a full OpenAPI artifact: Tiny Spec turns three terse files into a 57-line OpenAPI JSON and then reuses that OpenAPI JSON for automated unit tests, request validation via JSON Schema, and model serialization with Sequelize serialize. Examples include a patch user_update schema that drops is_admin and enforces strict properties, a type-casting step before validation, and generated TypeScript types for end-to-end consistency.
