While by no means a silver bullet my team has adopted it for both internal and public APIs and our clients have been quite happy having a standardised API like that.&lt;p&gt;In addition it is fairly-well supported by community packages (at least in Pythonland, e.g., marshmallow-jsonapi [2]) so it fit quite nicely in our stack while we could incrementally come up with v2 APIs that implement it.&lt;p&gt;Lastly, the spec does a semi-decent job, again no silver-bullet, of defining more advanced API features like filtering, sorting, field-selection, etc in a way that brings a lot of the GraphQL perks into REST.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;jsonapi.org&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;jsonapi.org&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;

If someone is building a new API and want a list of standard&amp;#x2F;best practices to follow, something like OpenAPI[0] would be much more helpful.&lt;p&gt;Here, I&amp;#x27;m not sure what one would do with a list of RFCs?&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;swagger.io&amp;#x2F;resources&amp;#x2F;open-api&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;swagger.io&amp;#x2F;resources&amp;#x2F;open-api&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
