OpenAPI Componentizer

[jansche]

Summary: Take any one or more OpenAPI 3.x definitions and loop through and move common objects to be centralized components. In the case of multiple input definitions, the common objects should be extracted to the components section of an external OpenAPI definition. Using the components object to centralize and reuse schemas, parameters, examples, and other elements of an API. Allowing for more efficient and reusable OpenAPI definitions that maximize the components object of the specification.

Skills: Familiarity with the OpenAPI specification.

Needs more details. Seems rather small in terms of scope. Could this even be a 175h project. Could it be a child project to the OpenAPI Initiative? @kinlane

Could more specific information be given about what the task is and how the project will move forward?
Som resources would also be helpful? @jansche

Hi @jansche

I have worked with OpenAPI , swaggers and have understanding as how difficult it get when all the specification are present on a single page. I would like to work on this as have faced this problem of recurring schema definitions.

Hi,
I am Dhruv Arora, a second year Computer Science Student.

I have been learning and using Postman for some time now and I woud love to contribute in any way that I can.

AsyncAPI Document Optimizer project from GSOC 2021, introduces a lot of features similar to the one required.
I also think that this project could be somewhat smaller than required, however you can always add more features to optimize/refactor OpenAI definitions better. In fact, I think the project should be changed to making an OpenAI definition Optimizer including all required functionality.

Hi everyone I am Devaansh Kumar a 2nd year CSE student at NIT Surathkal. I have familiarized myself with OpenAPI specs and its interesting to see the rise and need of well defined specifications for APIs. Could more information be given about what particular definitions will the project be about?
