oas

Parse an open api (previously swagger) spec.

Package Version Hex Docs

gleam add oas@1

The oas library provides a decoder that is designed to be used with JSON or YAML.

import gleam/json
import oas

pub fn main() {
  let raw = todo as "some schema content"
  let result = json.decode(raw, oas.decoder)
  case result {
    Ok(oas.Document(paths: paths, components: components, ..)) -> {
      // use oas spec
    }
    Error(_) -> panic as "could not decode"
  }
}

Missing features

The following have not been present in the API’s I have worked with. Notably security is usually described in human readable language as part of API docs.

Contributions to add these are welcome. They will not require a breaking change to upgrade so I am committing to a 1.0 release

Notes

Nullability

OpenAPI 3.0.x was build on “JSON Schema Specification Wright Draft 00” The OpenAPI spec defines a nullable field on all schema data types. As an extension to the JSON Schema draft.

OpenAPI 3.1.x uses “https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-00#section-6.1.1” This version of the spec allows lists of types in the data model. A nullable type should be represented by "type": ["null", "string"]

While nullable is not needed it is still supported for backwards compatability. Several specs still exist on 3.0.x versions, for example githubs.

OAS supports parsing lists for the type only if it contains one item or two items where one is null.

Nullable and not required

To create full fidelity with the API such a field should have a type of Option(Option(T)) In most cases there is no value exposing this to the users.

The one API where it is worth exposing is if posting to an endpoint with patch semantics. A missing field indicates no change. A present field with value of null means set the field to null.

Boolean JSON schemas

https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#section-4.3.2

A schema value of true is equivalent to an empty schema {} and will always validate. A schema value of false is equivalent to a schema that will never validate.

These “types” are decoded as oas.AlwayPasses and oas.AlwaysFails respectively.

Additional properties

Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty schema.

So if this value is not set it is the same as having a value of always passes

Schema field on MediaType

Content transferred in binary (octet-stream) MAY omit schema:
