Getting Started with Dingo API – Anyone Using It in Real Projects? | Capet Act

Hey everyone

I’ve recently started exploring Dingo API for building structured APIs in my projects at [Capet Act](https://carpetact.co.nz/), and I’m curious about how others are using it in real-world scenarios.

So far, I like how it helps organize routes, versioning, and responses, but I’d love to understand:

Is it still a good choice in 2026?
How does it compare with Laravel’s built-in API features?
Any performance or maintenance challenges?
Best practices you follow while using it?

Would really appreciate insights, experiences, or even alternatives you’d recommend 🙌

Thanks in advance!
