Laravel API vs Dingo API

Is anyone still using dingo API for there new projects, since Laravel API has been released? Was searching via the internet but it seems either too old or no result has been found related to this topic. Also if you are using dingo API for new projects what is your use case of choosing dingo API instead of Laravel API.

An api is just to get or send some data for display. In other words you are displaying some data on another site, or your site displays other sites data. It's going to boil down to xml or json.

Example: https://www.adoptapet.com/public/apis/pet_list.html Which I've used.

So if Dingo suits your needs fine, laravel, fine. You could just use php.

So use case is what's important.
