... for OpenAPI 3 and Swagger 2 API specifications.
Its standard configuration will check your APIs against the rules defined in Zalando's RESTful Guidelines, but anyone can use it out-of-the-box.
Zally's easy-to-use CLI uses the server in the background so that you can check your API on the spot. It also features an intuitive Web UI that shows implemented rules and lints external files and (with its online editor) API definitions.
More about Zally:
- OpenAPI-friendly: accepts OpenAPI 3 and Swagger Specifications .yaml and JSON formats; includes a server that lints your OpenAPI files; and parses OpenAPI files using swagger-parser
- Using
x-zally-ignore
extension in your API definition, you can disable rules for a specific API - Applying rule changes is only necessary in the server component
- API-specific code written in Java 8 with Spring Boot for better integration
- Rule implementation is optimal/possible in Kotlin
- Kotlin and Java 8 (server) with Spring Boot
- Golang 1.7+: for CLI
- Node.js 7.6+: for web UI
To give Zally a quick try, first run the server locally and then use the CLI tool.
The Server Readme, CLI Readme and Web UI Readme include more detailed installation steps for each component.
