Better OpenAPI With TypeSpecWe adopted TypeSpec to simplify API management, reduce maintenance, and improve developer productivity.

The article discusses the adoption of TypeSpec, a Microsoft project for describing APIs and generating schemas and code, by OpenMeter to improve API management. TypeSpec is similar to TypeScript and can output OpenAPI schemas. Some highlights include its flexibility, feeling like writing code, support for OpenAPI output and emitters, organizing spec into packages, co-locating operations and types, self-contained properties, increased consistency with templates, and reduced code maintenance. The adoption of TypeSpec has led to a smaller API definition size compared to the OpenAPI representation.
