Buyer's guide: api boilerplates

Quality API listings document their request/response shapes (OpenAPI for REST, schema for GraphQL, Zod for tRPC), include authentication middleware, and ship with example tests. For high-throughput APIs, prefer Fastify or Hono over Express; for edge deployment, prefer Hono.
