api swagger definition
Current Version - 2.0. The current version of the OpenAPI specification is 2.0 - and you can find it here. This repository contains the existing Swagger 1.2 specification as well as proposals for the 2.0 version. As promised in my previous post, I’ll show you how to write API definition with OpenAPI Specification (fka Swagger Specification) format. This tutorial will be composed of several posts: The World's Most Popular Framework for APIs. Great News to the Swagger Community! Starting January 1st 2016 the Swagger Specification has been donated to the Open API Initiative (OAI) and is the foundation of the OpenAPI Specification. Swagger is a simple yet powerful representation of your RESTful API. With the largest ecosystem of API tooling on the planet, thousands of developers are supporting Swagger in almost every modern programming language and deployment environment. It does, however, require the capabilities of the service be described in the structure of the OpenAPI Specification. Not all services can be described by OpenAPI--this specification is not intended to cover every possible use-case of a REST-ful API. See here. The goal of The OpenAPI Specification is to define a standard, language-agnostic interface to REST APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. Swagger-Codegen contains a template-driven engine to generate documentation, API clients and server stubs in different languages by parsing the OpenAPI/Swagger definition. Use cases for machine-readable API interfaces include interactive documentation, code generation for documentation, client, and server, as well as automated test cases. OpenAPI-enabled APIs expose JSON files that correctly adhere to the OpenAPI Specification, documented in this repository. A Powerful Interface to your API. Swagger is a simple yet powerful representation of your RESTful API. With the largest ecosystem of API tooling on the planet, thousands of developers are supporting Swagger in almost every modern programming language and deployment environment. As promised in my previous post, I’ll show you how to write API definition with OpenAPI Specification (fka Swagger Specification) format. This first part explains what is the OpenAPI Specification, why you will use it and what tools you can use to write these specifications. Why using an API definition language such as OpenAPI specification? Using an API definition language such as OpenAPI specification helps to describe easily and quickly an API. It’s particularly useful when you’re in the design process of your API (cf. my first post in the series).
