# Introduction
A [Go](https://golang.org) project for handling [OpenAPI](https://www.openapis.org/) files. We target the latest OpenAPI version (currently 3), but the project contains support for older OpenAPI versions too.

# Some recipes
## Loading OpenAPI document
Use `openapi3.Loader`, which resolves all references:
```go
doc, err := openapi3.NewLoader().LoadFromFile("swagger.json")
```

## Getting OpenAPI operation that matches request
```go
loader := openapi3.NewLoader()
doc, _ := loader.LoadFromData([]byte(`...`))
_ := doc.Validate(loader.Context)
router, _ := gorillamux.NewRouter(doc)
route, pathParams, _ := router.FindRoute(httpRequest)
// Do something with route.Operation
```

## Validating HTTP requests/responses
```go
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"context"
	"encoding/json"
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/openapi3filter"
	legacyrouter "github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/routers/legacy"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	loader := &openapi3.Loader{Context: ctx}
	doc, _ := loader.LoadFromFile("openapi3_spec.json")
	_ := doc.Validate(ctx)
	router, _ := legacyrouter.NewRouter(doc)
	httpReq, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/items", nil)

	// Find route
	route, pathParams, _ := router.FindRoute(httpReq)

	// Validate request
	requestValidationInput := &openapi3filter.RequestValidationInput{
		Request:    httpReq,
		PathParams: pathParams,
		Route:      route,
	}
	if err := openapi3filter.ValidateRequest(ctx, requestValidationInput); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var (
		respStatus      = 200
		respContentType = "application/json"
		respBody        = bytes.NewBufferString(`{}`)
	)

	log.Println("Response:", respStatus)
	responseValidationInput := &openapi3filter.ResponseValidationInput{
		RequestValidationInput: requestValidationInput,
		Status:                 respStatus,
		Header:                 http.Header{"Content-Type": []string{respContentType}},
	}
	if respBody != nil {
		data, _ := json.Marshal(respBody)
		responseValidationInput.SetBodyBytes(data)
	}

	// Validate response.
	if err := openapi3filter.ValidateResponse(ctx, responseValidationInput); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}
```

## Custom content type for body of HTTP request/response

By default, the library parses a body of HTTP request and response
if it has one of the next content types: `"text/plain"` or `"application/json"`.
To support other content types you must register decoders for them:

```go
func main() {
	// ...

	// Register a body's decoder for content type "application/xml".
	openapi3filter.RegisterBodyDecoder("application/xml", xmlBodyDecoder)

	// Now you can validate HTTP request that contains a body with content type "application/xml".
	requestValidationInput := &openapi3filter.RequestValidationInput{
		Request:    httpReq,
		PathParams: pathParams,
		Route:      route,
	}
	if err := openapi3filter.ValidateRequest(ctx, requestValidationInput); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// ...

	// And you can validate HTTP response that contains a body with content type "application/xml".
	if err := openapi3filter.ValidateResponse(ctx, responseValidationInput); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

func xmlBodyDecoder(body []byte) (interface{}, error) {
	// Decode body to a primitive, []inteface{}, or map[string]interface{}.
}
```

## Custom function to check uniqueness of array items

By defaut, the library check unique items by below predefined function

```go
func isSliceOfUniqueItems(xs []interface{}) bool {
	s := len(xs)
	m := make(map[string]struct{}, s)
	for _, x := range xs {
		key, _ := json.Marshal(&x)
		m[string(key)] = struct{}{}
	}
	return s == len(m)
}
```

In the predefined function using `json.Marshal` to generate a string can
be used as a map key which is to support check the uniqueness of an array
when the array items are objects or arrays. You can register
you own function according to your input data to get better performance:

```go
func main() {
	// ...

	// Register a customized function used to check uniqueness of array.
	openapi3.RegisterArrayUniqueItemsChecker(arrayUniqueItemsChecker)

	// ... other validate codes
}

func arrayUniqueItemsChecker(items []interface{}) bool {
	// Check the uniqueness of the input slice
}
```

## Sub-v0 breaking API changes

### v0.61.0
* Renamed `openapi2.Swagger` to `openapi2.T`.
* Renamed `openapi2conv.FromV3Swagger` to `openapi2conv.FromV3`.
* Renamed `openapi2conv.ToV3Swagger` to `openapi2conv.ToV3`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromData` to `openapi3.LoadFromData`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromDataWithPath` to `openapi3.LoadFromDataWithPath`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromFile` to `openapi3.LoadFromFile`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromURI` to `openapi3.LoadFromURI`.
* Renamed `openapi3.NewSwaggerLoader` to `openapi3.NewLoader`.
* Renamed `openapi3.Swagger` to `openapi3.T`.
* Renamed `openapi3.SwaggerLoader` to `openapi3.Loader`.
* Renamed `openapi3filter.ValidationHandler.SwaggerFile` to `openapi3filter.ValidationHandler.File`.
* Renamed `routers.Route.Swagger` to `routers.Route.Spec`.

### v0.51.0
* Type `openapi3filter.Route` moved to `routers` (and `Route.Handler` was dropped. See https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/issues/329)
* Type `openapi3filter.RouteError` moved to `routers` (so did `ErrPathNotFound` and `ErrMethodNotAllowed` which are now `RouteError`s)
* Routers' `FindRoute(...)` method now takes only one argument: `*http.Request`
* `getkin/kin-openapi/openapi3filter.Router` moved to `getkin/kin-openapi/routers/legacy`
* `openapi3filter.NewRouter()` and its related `WithSwaggerFromFile(string)`, `WithSwagger(*openapi3.Swagger)`, `AddSwaggerFromFile(string)` and `AddSwagger(*openapi3.Swagger)` are all replaced with a single `<router package>.NewRouter(*openapi3.Swagger)`
	* NOTE: the `NewRouter(doc)` call now requires that the user ensures `doc` is valid (`doc.Validate() != nil`). This used to be asserted.

### v0.47.0
Field `(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader).LoadSwaggerFromURIFunc` of type `func(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader, *url.URL) (*openapi3.Swagger, error)` was removed after the addition of the field `(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader).ReadFromURIFunc` of type `func(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader, *url.URL) ([]byte, error)`.
