cherrybomb VS swagger-core

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.

Examples include Swagger-Core, SpringFox, NSwag / Swashbuckle, Swagger-express / HAPI-Swagger, Django-REST-Swagger / Flask-RESTplus, etc.

JAX-RS is a java implementation of the OpenAPI Specification. - GitHub - swagger-api/swagger-core

Now Swagger UI is configured and we can start documenting our API. Inside UrlController, above every endpoint, we can use @ApiOperation annotation to add description. Depending on your needs you can use some other annotations.

Here is an example from Swagger APIs GitHub:

Im mostly in C# land nowadays, but this seems to be the java version. I’m not sure it is as deeply integrated, as I think Java has a few popular server frameworks.
