The OpenAPI specification, formerly known as Swagger, gives you the ability to describe the surface area of your HTTP 1.1 APIs using JSON or YAML. OpenAPI provides a robust way to describe what is possible with each API, defining the surface area of each request and response.
OpenAPI isn’t just for documentation or code generation. It is the standard business contract you apply to every digital resource you use in applications and integrations across the enterprise, providing teams with a common vocabulary to describe the relationship between API producers and consumers.
