Transforms a Hydra API doc in an intermediate representation that can be used for various tasks such as creating smart API clients, scaffolding code or building administration interfaces.

API Doc Parser

api-doc-parser is a JavaScript (ES6) library to parse Hydra or Swagger API documentations and transform them in an intermediate representation. This data structure can then be used for various tasks such as creating smart API clients, scaffolding code or building administration interfaces.

It plays well with the API Platform framework.

Install

With Yarn:

yarn add api-doc-parser

Using NPM:

npm install api-doc-parser

If you plan to use the library with Node, you also need a polyfill for the fetch function:

yarn add isomorphic-fetch

Usage

Hydra

import parseHydraDocumentation from 'api-doc-parser/lib/hydra/parseHydraDocumentation';

parseHydraDocumentation('https://demo.api-platform.com').then(({api}) => console.log(api));

Swagger

import parseSwaggerDocumentation from 'api-doc-parser/lib/swagger/parseSwaggerDocumentation';

parseSwaggerDocumentation('https://demo.api-platform.com/docs.json').then(({api}) => console.log(api));

Support for other formats (GraphQL, JSONAPI...)

API Doc Parser is designed to parse any API documentation format and convert it in the same intermediate representation. For now, only Hydra and Swagger is supported but if you develop a parser for another format, please open a Pull Request to include it in the library.
