OpenAPI importer

The OpenAPI importer creates an IBM Sterling Transformation Extender type tree from an Open API JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) document. The importer also can generate a sample map or sample Launcher system that hosts the Open API endpoints.

OpenAPI is a standard, language-agnostic interface to REST APIs, which allows you to import an OpenAPI JSON document into a type tree. OpenAPI also allows you to host REST API as endpoints in an IBM Sterling Transformation Extender map for both input (GET) and output (PUT). OpenAPI supports the following actions:

• GET (retrieve one or more tree definitions)
• POST (create a new tree or edit tree fields)
• DELETE (delete the results of a tree or the tree definition)
• PUT (replace tree fields)

There are two ways to use the OpenAPI importer:

• Use an IBM Sterling Transformation Extender map to the REST API (for more information see Mapping to a REST API with the OpenAPI importer)
• Use IBM Sterling Transformation Extender Launcher to host the REST API (for more information see Hosting a REST API with the OpenAPI importer via the Launcher)
