SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The ALPS-to-OpenAPI conversion tool automates translating API semantic models described in ALPS into machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 specifications, enabling automated API documentation and validation workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ALPS-to-OpenAPI conversion: generate OpenAPI YAML from ALPS descriptors (XML/JSON) for REST APIs.
  • Automatic validation: lint and verify the resulting OpenAPI with Spectral to ensure conformance.
  • End-to-end workflow: read ALPS, generate the spec, validate, and iterate to produce production-ready documentation.

Quick Start

  1. Install dependencies locally (npm install)
  2. Run conversion: npx alps-to-openapi input.alps -o openapi.yaml
  3. Validate: npx @stoplight/spectral-cli lint openapi.yaml

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an ALPS profile to an OpenAPI YAML specification?

To convert an ALPS profile to an OpenAPI YAML specification, run the tool with your ALPS input file to map semantic descriptors to paths, schemas, and operations, generating a valid OpenAPI 3.1 document.

What is ALPS to OpenAPI conversion used for?

ALPS to OpenAPI conversion automates translating API semantic models described in ALPS into machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 specifications, enabling automated API documentation and validation workflows for REST APIs.

Can I use XML and JSON files as input to generate OpenAPI specs?

Yes, you can use both XML and JSON ALPS files as input. The tool reads ALPS profiles in either format and scales the translation to produce a complete OpenAPI YAML document.

How do I validate an OpenAPI YAML file generated from ALPS?

To validate an OpenAPI YAML file generated from ALPS, run the Spectral CLI lint command on the output file to lint and verify conformance, ensuring the resulting specification is correct and production-ready.

Do I need npm installed to run the ALPS to OpenAPI conversion?

Yes, you need npm installed to run the ALPS to OpenAPI conversion. You must first install dependencies locally using npm install, then execute the conversion via the npx command.
