OpenAPI & .NET: You're Doing It Wrong - Mark Rendle - NDC London 2023

Video Description

.NET developers have two options when it comes to OpenAPI or Swagger: Swashbuckle and NSwag. Just decorate your controllers or minimal API endpoints with a bunch of attributes and a NuGet package will generate the swagger.json file for you, right? No. Wrong. That's not how this is supposed to work. In this talk, Mark will try to convince you that the correct way to implement OpenAPI is to write and maintain that file manually. Probably as YAML instead of JSON. That way it's included in your version control history, you can use it to generate Markdown docs in a GitHub action, and people don't need to run your app to get a copy of the file. Mark is working on some new NuGet packages that will provide some pretty neat functionality for static OpenAPI files, including serving SwaggerUI and beautiful documentation with code samples, generating application and test stubs, validating your implementation against the spec, and more.
