2022 State of
APIs

Developers’ workflows change rapidly.
Here are the insights you helped us collect on the state of APIs in 2022.

What are our favorite languages?

We asked questions to determine what languages developers use and which ones they prefer. Although JavaScript still being the most used language, it has lost ground this year, while TypeScript has grown by 4% since 2021. Older languages’ usage continued to fall — see Java, PHP, C#, and .NET moving down.
