cherrybomb VS springdoc-openapi

Standard library does not provide all solutions for Error Handling.. In fact, different errors may be returned by the same function, making it increasingly difficult to handle them precisely. Personal anecdote, in our company we developed Cherrybomb an API security tool written in Rust, and we need to re-write a good part of it to have a better errors handling.

Cherrybomb is a CLI tool that helps you avoid undefined user behavior by auditing your API specifications, validating them, and running API security tests.

If you're looking for a new way to understand and manage your API, consider using OpenAPI, and if you want to secure it consider using CherryBomb to automate your security test. Managing and Testing it's the key,now your can keep your API safe :)

You can find the code on GitHub: https://github.com/blst-security/cherrybomb

API validation is an important part of developing and releasing a new API. It helps to ensure that the API behaves as expected and that it meets all the requirements of its users. Validating an API can be made easier with automated testing tools and CI/CD integrated validation 💡 tools, but it can also be done by hand.

You can learn more about Cherrybomb and how it can help you over at its repository.

I believe that Cherrybomb will make it simpler for developers to construct application programming interfaces (APIs) that are standardized, well-documented, and straightforward to implement. We have high hopes that Cherrybomb will emerge as the industry standard for application programming interface (API) development.

The issue is that the springdoc-openapi BOM brings an old version of the Spring Framework 6.0, which is incompatible with Spring Boot 3.2. There are several ways to solve this problem: update springdoc, change the order of BOM imports, but the best, in my opinion, is to avoid using the io.spring.dependency-management plugin.

I would suggest using Springdoc

The SpringDoc library comes with lots of annotations to tune your REST API specification precisely. Anyway, that's out of context of this article.

I found SpringDoc, a library that automates the generation of the spec from the source code. It relies on annotations for textual bits (like tags and descriptions), but it also infers stuff from Spring annotations.

This is an API made with Spring Web, uses springdoc-openapi-ui to expose a swagger-ui on http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html

Libraries like Springdoc or Springfox can do this. These libraries generate the OpenAPI documentation based on your controllers (+ you can apply the OpenAPI annotations on your controllers). This documentation is then exposed as a REST API, for Springdoc these can be found at /v3/api-docs.

Retrieving all endpoints of a service isn't the goal of a service registry like Eureka, so no, you can't get all endpoints of a service. You can use a library like Springfox or Springdoc to enable Swagger/OpenAPI for your project. These libraries generate a JSON REST API (and a user interface) to view all your endpoints. You can even provide additional information (eg. default values, descriptions, ...) by adding some additional annotations on your controllers.

The springdoc-openapi helps automating the generation of API documentation using Spring Boot projects GitHub - springdoc/springdoc-openapi

Our microservice accept http requests: For swagger used Swagger OpenAPI 3. The bank account REST controller, which accept requests, validate it using Hibernate Validator, then call command or query service. The main reason for CQRS gaining popularity is the ability to handle reads and writes separately due to severe differences in optimization techniques for those much more distinct operations.
