We are pleased to announce that we have released the JSight → OpenAPI converter feature both in JSight Online Editor release 6.0 and JSight CLI release 1.1.0. Now JSight can be seamlessly integrated with the OpenAPI technology stack.

OpenAPI converter in JSight Online Editor

JSight Online Editor now has an OpenAPI tab. When you describe your API with JSight, the OpenAPI code is instantly generated in the OpenAPI tab.

See the introductory video on using OpenAPI in JSight Online Editor:

OpenAPI converter in JSight CLI

You can also now convert JSight descriptions into OpenAPI files using JSight CLI. It is as simple as that:

jsight convert openapi yaml "my-api-spec.jst" > "my-api-spec.openapi"

Today, we are releasing a new product: JSight Validator.

This is a library that is designed to validate all incoming and outgoing API messages for compliance with the API specification written in the JSight API language.

It works as follows:

  1. Describe your API in JSight API language and store the resulting API specification in the Git repository of your service.
  2. Integrate JSight Validator into your service code (see manual).

Now all API calls will be validated by the JSight Validator against the API specification! This will provide you with the following benefits:

  • You can always be certain that the implementation of the API is 100% compliant with the specification.
  • You can trust the API specification as it accurately reflects the real API.
  • You don't have to write the validation code of input messages.
  • You don't have to write automated tests to check how the API responds to faulty messages.

For example, in PHP, HTTP request validation might look like this:

$error = jsight_validate_http_request(`my-api-spec.jst`, $method, $uri, $headers, $body);

if( $error ) return jsight_serialize_error('json', $error);

Along with the JSight Online Editor code, we also published several libraries and, most importantly, JSight language specifications.
