We are happy to announce that Spincast now has a plugin to generate OpenAPI / Swagger specifications! This allows you to document a REST API developed using Spincast easily.

The plugin, Spincast OpenAPI Bottom Up, uses a bottom-up approach (also called "code first" approach) as it starts from the code of your application to generate the associated OpenAPI specifications as JSON or as YAML.

This plugin reuses a lot of code from the battle-tested and well-maintained official Swagger Core reference implementation. Doing so, the plugin should respect the OpenAPI specifications very well and should also be future-proof.
