The OpenAPI Specification (formally known as Swagger) describes APIs in a way that is standardized, machine-readable, and programming language-agnostic. It is an open source project hosted by the Linux Foundation.

There have been many announcements regarding frameworks or tools supporting this standard: For example, Eclipse MicroProfile 1.3 provides a set of annotations that can be used on top of JAX-RS, and version 3.5.2 of Eclipse Vert.x provides automatic requests validation.

The standard is also well-adopted. Many products describe their API as an OpenAPI Specification: Docker, OpenShift, Microsoft Azure, to name a few. The government of Netherlands has adopted the OpenAPI Specification as a national standard.

This talk will provide an overview of the specification format, then it will present some implementation examples with different frameworks. Useful tools; such as an editor based on Eclipse Xtext and a code generator, will also be presented. The examples here are taken from real projects.

All of the tools presented in this talk are open-source.
