5 Reasons You Should Use OpenAPI/Swagger for Your APIs

If you develop software today, chances are you are developing Web APIs as well. But while you might not be a company like Twilio that is running a huge public API program, there is still a high chance you are building APIs for some selected partners or even just for internal use. For example, to connect your native mobile applications to your backend.

In all these cases, your software development lifecycle and server operations involve APIs. If you are still not using a definition language for machine-readable API specifications, such as OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger), you should definitely consider doing so. After all, APIs are languages for machines to talk to each other. So it makes sense that their process and documentation is written in a way that machines can understand and participate in as well. https://goo.gl/vopC9t #DataIntegration #ML
