Is Dingo still necessary for API development?

I'm building a new API based on Laravel 5.7. It's pretty straight forward building an API as Laravel covers so much out the box. I see a lot of start projects using the Dingo API package though. Are there any benefits to using this package? Also, I'd like to stick with Passport for authentication. What would you suggest in terms of using the laravel-jwt package as opposed to Passport?

@pillaykm Dingo was never “necessary” for API development. You can quite easily create an API using resource routes and Passport as you say.
