Introduction to OpenAPI

OpenAPI is a technical specification for defining your APIs with. It is often promoted as a good way to document your APIs so that others can use them: useful but unnecessary for many APIs which are intended for internal use only, so you may have overlooked it in the past.

OpenAPI can bring far more to your project than simple documentation, simplifying integration between frontend and backend teams; enabling automatic generation of client code in a whole host of languages and automatic validation of inputs against the specification.

This workshop will bring you up to speed with everything that OpenAPI has to offer and help you unlock the benefits of a formal definition for your APIs.
