An open-source API style guide enforcer and linter. Why write API Style Guides as lengthy manifestos when you could automate them? Make sure APIs are secure, consistent, and useful. Spectral is open-source but is also baked into Stoplight, with extensions for VS Code and other integration options, giving you real-time feedback wherever you design APIs. Spectral can be used as a generic ruleset engine on any JSON or YAML data but was built with OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and JSON Schema in mind. Use Spectral rules to target API descriptions for quality improvement or enforce API Style Guide rules, such as naming conventions for OpenAPI models or prohibiting integers in URLs.

Features

  • Keep unwieldy API descriptions under control
  • Reduce decision-making and promote consistent API descriptions
  • Create custom rules to lint JSON or YAML objects
  • Validate and lint OpenAPI v2 & v3.x and AsyncAPI Documents
  • Automated API Style Guides using rulesets improve consistency across all your APIs
  • Create custom functions for advanced use cases
