Build the image

This is only required if you want to try new changes in the Dockerfile of this project.

docker build -t local-openapi-diff .

You can replace the local image name local-openapi-diff by any name of your choice.

Run an instance

In this example the $(pwd)/core/src/test/resources directory is mounted in the /specs directory of the container in readonly mode (ro).

docker run --rm -t \
  -v $(pwd)/core/src/test/resources:/specs:ro \
  openapitools/openapi-diff:latest /specs/path_1.yaml /specs/path_2.yaml

The remote name openapitools/openapi-diff can be replaced with local-openapi-diff or the name you gave to your local image.

Usage

openapi-diff can read OpenAPI specs from JSON files or HTTP URLs.

Maven Plugin

Add openapi-diff to your POM to show diffs when you test your Maven project. You may opt to throw an error if you have broken backwards compatibility or if your API has changed.

Direct Invocation

public class Main {
    public static final String OPENAPI_DOC1 = "petstore_v3_1.json";
    public static final String OPENAPI_DOC2 = "petstore_v2_2.yaml";

        ChangedOpenApi diff = OpenApiCompare.fromLocations(OPENAPI_DOC1, OPENAPI_DOC2);

        //...
    }
}

Render difference


HTML

String html = new HtmlRender("Changelog",
        "http://deepoove.com/swagger-diff/stylesheets/demo.css")
                .render(diff);

try {
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("testNewApi.html");
    fw.write(html);
    fw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Markdown

String render = new MarkdownRender().render(diff);
try {
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("testDiff.md");
    fw.write(render);
    fw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Asciidoc

String render = new AsciidocRender().render(diff);
try {
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("testDiff.adoc");
    fw.write(render);
    fw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

JSON

String render = new JsonRender().render(diff);
try {
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("testDiff.json");
    fw.write(render);
    fw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Extensions

This project uses Java Service Provider Inteface (SPI) so additional extensions can be added.

To build your own extension, you simply need to create a src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org.openapitools.openapidiff.core.compare.ExtensionDiff file with the full classname of your implementation. Your class must also implement the org.openapitools.openapidiff.core.compare.ExtensionDiff interface. Then, including your library with the openapi-diff module will cause it to be triggered automatically.
