About

OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger Specification) is an API description format for REST APIs. An OpenAPI file allows you to describe your entire API, including:

• Available endpoints (/users) and operations on each endpoint (GET /users, POST /users)
• Operation parameters Input and output for each operation
• Authentication methods
• Contact information, license, terms of use, and other information.

API specifications can be written in YAML or JSON. The format is easy to learn and readable to both humans and machines. The complete OpenAPI Specification can be found on GitHub: OpenAPI 3.0 Specification

NOTE:

This repo is working in the process. We hope we can finish an alpha version in April, and be ready to Beta in May!

Issues & PRs are welcome, thank you very much for your attention.

Motivation

We have OpenAPI for Wechaty Puppet, and we want a RESTful API as well, so we built OpenAPI Specification (OAS, former Swagger) on top of gRPC, with the power of gRPC OAS Gateway.

Architecture

Thanks to the ecosystem of gRPC, we can generate OpenAPI Specification from our gRPC proto definitions automatically.

We are using gRPC to JSON proxy generator following the gRPC HTTP spec as the OpenAPI Specification generator (protoc-gen-openapiv2), and using Like grpc-gateway, but written in node and dynamic project to serve an HTTP RESTful API to gRPC proxy.
