Apicurio Studio

architecture

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Apicurio Studio is a browser-based, open-source API design studio. It can be used to create or modify APIs using the OpenAPI specification. The visual editor supports collaborative development and allows to easily define example responses matching incoming requests.

At AOE, we use Apicurio Studio in conjunction with Microcks as part of our API-first development approach. While specifying an API, a corresponding mock server can be set up with a single mouse click. The frontend and backend parts of an application can then be developed independently by using the mock server and the API specification generated by Apicurio Studio.
