jsonapi-nano

jsonapi-nano is a lightweight, ultra-fast, zero-dependency presentation layer engine for formatting data into strict, compliance-ready JSON:API spec configurations. It features a 100% framework-agnostic core with native TypeScript type-inference that maps custom application contexts across Express, Fastify, NestJS, or serverless environments seamlessly.

The Challenge

Building API presentation layers that comply with the strict JSON:API specification typically forces developers into heavy, opinionated frameworks or dependencies that bloat production code. Existing utilities often break down with strict TypeScript inference when handling multi-framework runtime execution contexts.

Technology

TypeScript core with no runtime dependencies, fully compatible with all JavaScript/TypeScript backend frameworks.

What this project taught me

How to balance depth with delivery, when to build vs buy, and why documentation is as important as code. I'd love to apply the same rigor to your challenges.
