Designing APIs with Swagger and OpenAPI introduces you to a design-first paradigm that will teach you the best practices for describing and designing RESTful APIs using OpenAPI and Swagger. You’ll build upon progressively-enhanced examples as you learn to describe an API and then extend it in the kind of scenarios you’d encounter in the real world. As you go, you’ll use the popular Open Source tools to define APIs, generate documentation, and build other developer-friendly components like mocks, server stubs, and client SDKs.
