openapi-spec-generation

To generate OpenAPI 3.1 specifications from existing backend code, use a code-first workflow to validate and refine your source paths. This produces accurate API documentation and client SDKs while keeping contracts in sync with your implementation.

Keeping API documentation aligned with design-first inputs involves generating OpenAPI specs from your design docs and synchronizing them with code. This design-first approach continuously validates that implementations conform to the API contract, reducing manual drift.

To start OpenAPI spec generation on your repository, run the automated workflow across your codebase and design files. This produces or updates your openapi.yaml file, ensuring API docs, client SDKs, and tests reflect the latest code changes.

Yes, you can use a hybrid workflow for API contract validation and SDK generation. This approach supports both design-first and code-first inputs across backend services and documentation portals, relying on standard OpenAPI tooling to publish accurate specs and SDKs.

API documentation drifts from code implementation when manual updates fail to track evolving API changes. Automating OpenAPI 3.1 spec generation directly from your codebase prevents this drift, keeping API docs, client SDKs, and tests consistently aligned.
