Tool Types

We've organised everything into categories so you can jump to the section you're interested in.

  • Auto Generators: Tools that will take your code and turn it into an OpenAPI Specification document
  • Converters: Various tools to convert to and from OpenAPI and other API description formats.
  • Data Validators: Check to see if API requests and responses are lining up with the API description.
  • Description Validators: Check your API description to see if it is valid OpenAPI.
  • Documentation: Render API Description as HTML (or maybe a PDF) so slightly less technical people can figure out how to work with the API.
  • DSL: Writing YAML by hand is no fun, and maybe you don't want a GUI, so use a Domain Specific Language to write OpenAPI in your language of choice.
  • Gateways: API Gateways and related tools that have integrated support for OpenAPI.
  • GUI Editors: Visual editors help you design APIs without needing to memorize the entire OpenAPI specification.
  • Learning: Whether you're trying to get documentation for a third party API based on traffic, or are trying to switch to design-first at an organization with no OpenAPI at all, learning can help you move your API spec forward and keep it up to date.
  • Miscellaneous: Anything else that does stuff with OpenAPI but hasn't quite got enough to warrant its own category.
  • Mock Servers: Fake servers that take description document as input, then route incoming HTTP requests to example responses or dynamically generates examples.
  • Monitoring: Monitoring tools let you know what is going on in your API.
  • Parsers: Loads and read OpenAPI descriptions, so you can work with them programmatically.
  • SDK Generators: Generate code to give to consumers, to help them avoid interacting at a HTTP level.
  • Security: By poking around your OpenAPI description, some tools can look out for attack vectors you might not have noticed.
  • Server Implementations: Easily create and implement resources and routes for your APIs.
  • Testing: Quickly execute API requests and validate responses on the fly through command line or GUI interfaces.
  • Text Editors: Text editors give you visual feedback whilst you write OpenAPI, so you can see what docs might look like.
