OpenAPI: More Than Documentation
Speaker: Matthew Turland
OpenAPI: More Than Documentation

Level: Intermediate (some prior knowledge necessary)
Length: Standard Session (45-60 minutes)

Description:
Documentation is an important way of communicating how your API works to its consumers. However, if you're using OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger) solely for documentation, you're openly tapping into a mere fraction of its power. Or, if you're not using OpenAPI at all, you're missing out on a huge way to reduce the workload involved in maintaining your API and enabling others to use it successfully. This talk will walk you through the development lifecycle of an API, from conception to consumption, and show you how an OpenAPI spec can be a boon to your project, be it new or legacy, at each development stage.
