The Swagger API project was created in 2011 by Tony Tam, technical co-founder of the dictionary site Wordnik.During the development of Wordnik's products, the need for automation of API documentation and client SDK generation became a major source of frustration.
Originally developed to support the Swagger framework, it became a separate project in 2015, overseen by the OpenAPI Initiative, an open-source collaboration project of the Linux Foundation. [2] [3] An OpenAPI Description (OAD) [4] represents a formal description of an API that tools can use to generate code, documentation, test cases, and more.
The tools listed here support emulating [1] or simulating APIs and software systems.They are also called [2] API mocking tools, service virtualization tools, over the wire test doubles and tools for stubbing and mocking HTTP(S) and other protocols. [1]
FastAPI automatically generates OpenAPI documentation for your APIs. This documentation includes both Swagger UI and ReDoc, which provide interactive API documentation that you can use to explore and test your endpoints in real time. This is particularly useful for developing, testing, and sharing APIs with other developers or users.
Enhancements to Swagger 2.0 compliance. Additional information can be added to describe an API; for example, contact and license details. If a Swagger file is downloaded for the API, the additional information is written to the info field. Tags can be added to APIs and API operations for ease of grouping by application developers.
Provides warnings if tagged parameters do not match code, parsed parameters included in XML output and Doxygen-style tagfile (-D flag in 8.7). Partial C preprocessor support with -p flag. Support for #if/#ifdef control over documentation inclusion using the -D and -U command-line flags. Imagix 4D: customizable through style sheets and CSS
An open API (often referred to as a public API) is a publicly available application programming interface that provides developers with programmatic access to a (possibly proprietary) software application or web service. [1] Open APIs are APIs that are published on the internet and are free to access by consumers. [2]
RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) is a YAML-based language for describing static APIs (but not REST APIs). [2] It provides all the information necessary to describe APIs on the level 2 of the Richardson Maturity Model .
