OPNAPI’s explanation, or OAS, is a non -language -related governorate. In a file written with this standard, we describe all the Restphal APIs so that humans and computers are easy to read or refine program traffic or refine network traffic without having to read the program code or to refine network traffic. Understand the performance of the program and its abilities.
If you add this file to your application, anyone who wants to use the program can communicate with it without involving the complexity of the application.
Below are some of the information you can write in this file.
- Address /Users is active on the website and get /users and post /Users operations can be used on this address.
- What in the URL addresses they need and what information they return to the output.
- How do authentication methods do.
- You can write your contact information, program use and certificates and other information in this file.
The API descriptions can be written in a json or yaml file. These formats are easily read and understood by humans and cars. You can read any information you want about Openapi explaining it in the gate hub.
What is Swagger?
Swagger is a series of Open-Source apps and tools based on the standard explanation of Openapi and with the help of them you can design, build your app’s Rest APIs, make the right documentaries for them, and use them. do.
The main tools of Swagger are:
- Swagger Editor: An online tool you can write about your APIs based on the standard Openapi.
- Swagger UI: A tool to convert OpenAPI’s explanations into an interactive documentary from your APIs.
- Swagger Codegen: According to OpenAPI, it produces client -side libraries and server side codes for you.
Why use openapi?
The main feature of OpenAPI is its high and complete capabilities to explain the API capabilities. When you wrote for your program with OpenPI, Swagger tools can help you develop your app’s APIs in a variety of ways.
For example, Swagger Codegen prepares the server code for you, and you just need to implement the logic behind it to make the APIs ready for use. Or with the same tool you can write client libraries with more than 40 languages.
Or easily write interactive documentaries for your APIs with Swagger UI so that your colleagues or anyone who wants to use those APIs can easily test the API performance in the same Brown.
