Commercial guide

OpenAPI starter for Express APIs that need clear docs fast.

Expose interactive API docs and machine-readable OpenAPI output with a module that integrates cleanly into your backend.

Proof from generated backend output

Teams convert better when they see what they get before signup. This is the practical output path from Zuro commands.

$ npx zuro-cli init my-mvp
✓ Express + TypeScript scaffolded
✓ Helmet, CORS, env validation
✓ Logger + health route ready

$ npx zuro-cli add auth
✓ Auth routes configured
↳ auto-installs database + error-handler if missing

Implementation path

  1. Initialize your backend foundation with one command.
  2. Install only the module needed for this use case.
  3. Validate route behavior and move to product feature work.

What changes for your implementation workflow

Contract visibility

Interactive docs endpoint and JSON OpenAPI spec are scaffolded instantly.

Faster QA cycles

Use specs for client SDK generation and QA/UAT workflows.

SDK-ready endpoints

Works naturally with auth, uploads, validator, and other modules.

API documentation as an engineering workflow

OpenAPI is most valuable when it is treated as a daily workflow artifact rather than a one-time integration task. Teams use it for QA handoff, client SDK generation, contract review, and debugging. A starter should make spec updates and docs rendering part of normal development, not a separate documentation project.

Practical API docs setup needs both machine readability and developer ergonomics. Generated routes should expose predictable JSON specs while maintaining a clean interactive UI for internal and external consumers. This is especially useful for early-stage teams that iterate endpoints quickly and need fast alignment across frontend and backend.

This landing page expands on those use cases so teams can evaluate fit before implementation. The intent is to communicate that docs quality directly affects delivery speed, integration reliability, and long-term API consistency.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the generated OpenAPI JSON?

The docs module exposes OpenAPI JSON under the API docs route for tooling and integration.

Can I add custom endpoint schemas?

Yes. You can register additional paths and schemas in the generated OpenAPI setup files.
