do-swagger2openapi

Convert Swagger 2.0 definitions into OpenApi 3.0.x

The online version of the converter/validator runs on a Linode VPS. If you are considering a hosted server, please sign up through this link so we both receive free credit.

Currently tracking v3.0.x

Installation:

This is a node.js module, which you can run on the command line. First ensure you have npm installed (tested on version 6.1+), and then install as follows:

npm install -g do-swagger2openapi

Or, add it to your node.js projects as shown below in option B.

B. Node.js API:

const converter = require('do-swagger2openapi');
let options = {};
//options.patch = true; // fix up small errors in the source definition
//options.warnOnly = true; // Do not throw on non-patchable errors
converter.convertObj(swagger, options, function(err, options){
  // options.openapi contains the converted definition
});
// also available are asynchronous convertFile, convertUrl, convertStr and convertStream functions
// if you omit the callback parameter, you will instead receive a Promise

Note that the options object passed in is modified/extended by the convert* functions.

See the boast command-line tool for a fuller CLI tool for converting, validating and linting.

See here for complete documentation of the options object.

C. Browser:

Or use the online version which also includes its own API.

Features

OpenAPI 3.0.x validation

oas-validate can be used as a validator if given one or more existing OpenAPI 3.x definitions. The validator (however it is called) uses WHATWG URL parsing if available (node 7.x and above). The validator can have a linting mode enabled with the --lint option. Rules are defined here. Contributions of rules and rule actions for the linter are very much appreciated.

oas-validate.js [options] {path-to-docs}...

Options:
  --lint            lint the definition                                [boolean]
  --validateSchema  Run schema validation step: first, last* or never   [string]
  --warnOnly        Do not throw on non-patchable errors               [boolean]
  -h, --help        Show help                                          [boolean]
  --version         Show version number                                [boolean]
  -e, --encoding    encoding for input/output files   [string] [default: "utf8"]
  -f, --fail        path to docs expected to fail                       [string]
  -j, --jsonschema  path to alternative JSON schema                     [string]
  -l, --laxurls     lax checking of empty urls                         [boolean]
  -m, --mediatype   check media-types against RFC pattern              [boolean]
  -n, --nopatch     do not patch minor errors in the source definition [boolean]
  -o, --output      output conversion result  [string] [default: "openapi.yaml"]
  -q, --quiet       do not show test passes on console, for CI         [boolean]
  -r, --resolve     resolve external references                        [boolean]
  -s, --stop        stop on first error                                [boolean]
  -v, --verbose     increase verbosity                                   [count]
  -w, --whatwg      enable WHATWG URL parsing                          [boolean]
  -y, --yaml        skip YAML-safe test                                [boolean]

Reference preservation

swagger2openapi by default preserves almost all $ref JSON references in your API definition, and does not dereference every item, as with some model-based parsers. The exception is internal references within externally referenced documents. To enable internal $ref resolution across the whole document, use the --resolveInternal option, which also disables creation of $refs for shared requestBodies.

Schema transformations

swagger2openapi will automatically 'repair' a number of problems where non-compliant Swagger 2.0 schemas have been used. It will attempt to transform JSON schemas (used incorrectly) into OpenAPI 3.0.x Schema objects.

Specification extensions

swagger2openapi has support for a limited number of real-world specification extensions which have a direct bearing on the conversion. All other specification extensions are left untouched. swagger2openapi is swaggerplusplus-compatible.

It is expected to be able to configure the process of specification-extension modification using options or a plugin mechanism in a future release.

Tests

To run a test-suite:

node oas-validate [-f {path-to-expected-failures}]... [{path-to-APIs|single-file...}]

The test harness currently expects files with a .json or .yaml extension, or a single named file, and has been tested on LTS Node.js versions against

• APIs.guru
• Mermade OpenApi specifications collection
• OpenAPI3-Examples (pass/fail)
• SOM-Research collection

Additionally swagger2openapi has been tested on a corpus of 74,426 real-world valid Swagger 2.0 definitions from GitHub and SwaggerHub. However, if you have a definition which causes errors in the converter or does not pass validation, please do not hesitate to raise an issue.

Regression tests

Regression tests (thanks @domharrington) live in the /test directory and can be run with npx mocha. Each sub-directory of s2o-test should contain an input swagger.yaml file, an expected output openapi.yaml file and an optional options.yaml file. You can put private test cases in sub-directories starting with an underscore character. In the resolver sub-directory, each directory should contain an input.yaml, an output.yaml and an optional options.yaml file.
