Contract-first API development using the OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger)

Contract-first API development using the OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger)

Dave Forgac and Ian Zelikman demonstrate how to use a contract-first approach to API development using the OpenAPI Specification (formerly called Swagger) and other open source tools. Dave and Ian walk you through defining a simple API specification, using it to generate documentation, a mock server, and stub code, and implementing a working API based on the specification.
