Designing APIs with Swagger and OpenAPI is a hands-on primer for describing, planning and designing web APIs. Core Swagger contributor Josh Ponelat introduces you to a design-first paradigm that will teach you the best practices for describing and designing RESTful APIs using OpenAPI and Swagger. You’ll build upon progressively-enhanced examples as you learn to describe an API and then extend it in the kind of scenarios you’d encounter in the real world. You’ll practice skills for assessing business needs, gathering requirements, and working with a cross-functional team. And as you go, you’ll use the popular Open Source tools to define APIs, generate documentation, and build other developer-friendly components like mocks, server stubs, and client SDKs. what's inside OpenAPI syntax and structure Using Swagger and OSS tooling to create OpenAPI definitions Automating processes and generating code Working with cross-functional teams
