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