# libopenapi - enterprise grade OpenAPI tools for golang.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
[](https://codecov.io/gh/pb33f/libopenapi)
|
|
|
|
libopenapi has full support for Swagger (OpenAPI 2), OpenAPI 3, and OpenAPI 3.1.
|
|
|
|
## Introduction - Why?
|
|
|
|
There is already a great OpenAPI library for golang, it's called [kin-openapi](https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi).
|
|
|
|
### So why does this exist?
|
|
|
|
[kin-openapi](https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi) is great, and you should use it.
|
|
|
|
> **_However, kin-openapi missing one critical feature_**... It's so important, this library exists because of it.
|
|
|
|
When building tooling that needs to analyze OpenAPI specifications at a *low* level, [kin-openapi](https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi)
|
|
**runs out of power** when you need to know the original line numbers and columns, or comments within all keys and values in the spec.
|
|
|
|
All that data is **lost** when the spec is loaded in by [kin-openapi](https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi). It's mainly
|
|
because the library will unmarshal data directly into structs, which works great - if you don't need access to the original
|
|
specification low level details.
|
|
|
|
Want to build a linter? Analysis tool? Renderer that retains original positions?
|
|
|
|
## libopenapi retains _everything_.
|
|
|
|
libopenapi has been designed to retain all of that really low-level detail about the AST, line numbers, column numbers, comments,
|
|
original AST structure - everything you could need.
|
|
|
|
libopenapi has a **porcelain** (high-level) and a **plumbing** (low-level) API. Every high level struct, has the
|
|
ability to `GoLow` and dive from the high-level model, down to the low-level model and look-up any detail about the
|
|
underlying raw data backing that model.
|
|
|
|
This library exists because this very need existed inside [VMware](https://vmware.com). The company built an internal
|
|
version of libopenapi, which isn't something that can be released as it's customized for VMware (and it's incomplete).
|
|
|
|
libopenapi is the result of years of learning and battle testing OpenAPI in golang. This library represents what would
|
|
have been created, if we knew then - what we know now.
|
|
|
|
> If you need to know which line, or column a key or value for something is? **libopenapi has you covered**
|
|
|
|
## Comes with an Index and a Resolver
|
|
|
|
Want a lightning fast way to look up any element in an OpenAPI swagger spec? **libopenapi has you covered**
|
|
|
|
Need a way to 'resolve' OpenAPI documents that are exploded out across multiple files, remotely or locally?
|
|
**libopenapi has you covered**
|

|
|
|
|
## Some examples to get you started.
|
|
|
|
Grab the latest release of **libopenapi**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get github.com/pb33f/libopenapi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load an OpenAPI 3+ spec into a model
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// load an OpenAPI 3 specification from bytes
|
|
petstore, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("test_specs/petstorev3.json")
|
|
|
|
// create a new document from specification bytes
|
|
document, err := NewDocument(petstore)
|
|
|
|
// if anything went wrong, an error is thrown
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(fmt.Sprintf("cannot create new document: %e", err))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// because we know this is a v3 spec, we can build a ready to go model from it.
|
|
v3Model, errors := document.BuildV3Model()
|
|
|
|
// if anything went wrong when building the v3 model, a slice of errors will be returned
|
|
if len(errors) > 0 {
|
|
for i := range errors {
|
|
fmt.Printf("error: %e\n", errors[i])
|
|
}
|
|
panic(fmt.Sprintf("cannot create v3 model from document: %d errors reported", len(errors)))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// get a count of the number of paths and schemas.
|
|
paths := len(v3Model.Model.Paths.PathItems)
|
|
schemas := len(v3Model.Model.Components.Schemas)
|
|
|
|
// print the number of paths and schemas in the document
|
|
fmt.Printf("There are %d paths and %d schemas in the document", paths, schemas)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
There are 13 paths and 8 schemas in the document
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Load a Swagger (OpenAPI 2) spec into a model
|
|
```go
|
|
// load a Swagger specification from bytes
|
|
petstore, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("test_specs/petstorev2.json")
|
|
|
|
// create a new document from specification bytes
|
|
document, err := NewDocument(petstore)
|
|
|
|
// if anything went wrong, an error is thrown
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(fmt.Sprintf("cannot create new document: %e", err))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// because we know this is a v2 spec, we can build a ready to go model from it.
|
|
v2Model, errors := document.BuildV2Model()
|
|
|
|
// if anything went wrong when building the v3 model, a slice of errors will be returned
|
|
if len(errors) > 0 {
|
|
for i := range errors {
|
|
fmt.Printf("error: %e\n", errors[i])
|
|
}
|
|
panic(fmt.Sprintf("cannot create v3 model from document: %d errors reported", len(errors)))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// get a count of the number of paths and schemas.
|
|
paths := len(v2Model.Model.Paths.PathItems)
|
|
schemas := len(v2Model.Model.Definitions.Definitions)
|
|
|
|
// print the number of paths and schemas in the document
|
|
fmt.Printf("There are %d paths and %d schemas in the document", paths, schemas)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
There are 14 paths and 6 schemas in the document
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dropping down from the high-level API to the low-level one
|
|
|
|
This example shows how after loading an OpenAPI spec into a document, navigating to an Operation is pretty simple.
|
|
It then shows how to _drop-down_ (using `GoLow())` to the low-level API and query the line and start column of the RequestBody description.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// load an OpenAPI 3 specification from bytes
|
|
petstore, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("test_specs/petstorev3.json")
|
|
|
|
// create a new document from specification bytes
|
|
// (ignore errors for the same of the example)
|
|
document, _ := NewDocument(petstore)
|
|
|
|
// because we know this is a v3 spec, we can build a ready to go model from it
|
|
// (ignoring errors for the example)
|
|
v3Model, _ := document.BuildV3Model()
|
|
|
|
// extract the RequestBody from the 'put' operation under the /pet path
|
|
reqBody := document.Paths.PathItems["/pet"].Put.RequestBody
|
|
|
|
// dropdown to the low-level API for RequestBody
|
|
lowReqBody := reqBody.GoLow()
|
|
|
|
// print out the value, the line it appears on and the
|
|
// start columns for the key and value of the nodes.
|
|
fmt.Printf("value is %s, the value is on line %d, " +
|
|
"starting column %d, the key is on line %d, column %d",
|
|
reqBody.Description,
|
|
lowReqBody.Description.ValueNode.Line,
|
|
lowReqBody.Description.ValueNode.Column,
|
|
lowReqBody.Description.KeyNode.Line,
|
|
lowReqBody.KeyNode.Column)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The library heavily depends on the fantastic (yet hard to get used to) [yaml.Node API](https://pkg.go.dev/gopkg.in/yaml.v3#Node).
|
|
This is what is exposed by the `GoLow` API. It does not matter if the input material is JSON or YAML, the yaml.Node API
|
|
creates a great way to navigate the AST of the document.
