Coding to an API spec is one of the most freeing things I have done as a backend engineer. We use JSONAPI at work, and while it still leaves things open to interpretation and places to fill in gaps, having a standard just frames everything for the better. Tooling can be created on either side with explicit expectations, and we can give new employees a link to the spec to know how things are supposed to work. It's great.
