Oas tools

A list of tools to work with OpenAPIs

swagger2RAML

• A swagger2RAML converter tool: https://github.com/8x8Cloud/swagger2raml

JSON schema validation

• http://json-schema.org/implementations.html
• validating JSON against a JSON schema: An online example can be found at: http://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/. It’s worth noting that the online swagger editor (http://editor.swagger.io) doesn’t validate JSON examples contained within a definition file, since that’s deemed out of scope.
• https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-newton-json-content-rules-08

Restlet

• (https://restlet.com/)
• Proprietary tools to manage RestFul APIs and Microservises
• Tools:
  • Studio: Online tool to graphically design APIs (paid service)
  • Client: Google Chrome extension to run tests against a HTTP API
  • Cloud: Deploy online API (paid service)

JSON REFS

• “json-refs is a simple library for interacting with JSON References and JSON Pointers. While the main purpose of this library is to provide JSON References features, since JSON References are a combination of Object structure and a JSON Pointer, this library also provides some features for JSON Pointers as well.”
• It will provide JSON resolution also inside YAML files and can output JSON, it is therefore useful to merge different JSON and YAML files into a larger file
• Run on NodeJS
• https://github.com/whitlockjc/json-refs
• Install
• $ npm I –g json-refs
• Usage
• $ cd folder/with/yaml/tree
• $ json-refs resolve –y anything.split.yaml > anything.merged.yaml

Swagger-yaml

• https://github.com/idlerun/swagger-yaml
• an alternate structure for defining a Swagger API which splits the definition into separate files which are combined by a NodeJS script prior to processing by the Swagger Generator.
