Zap Restful api with swagger

[rrogovski]

Has anyone used ZAP for this purpose, restful api with swagger documentation?

I asked it before, but I don't think it's one of its goals: #116 (It is just an HTTP Server afterall).

I don't know if it's possible to create a router wrapper around Zap and call that a backend framework.

I also wonder why it's not more sought-after by most backend frameworks though. The API still has to be consumed by JavaScript at some point and having OpenAPI makes it possible to consume it with typesafety (Orval, OpenAPI TS).

It's kinda why I stick to the JS ecosystem for backends that require this since it's there out-of-the-box. (e.g. Elysia, Hono).

If you really want to use a compiled language. Maybe try Go (https://github.com/swaggest/openapi-go) or Rust (https://www.rspc.dev/) - I think most pleasant tbh.
