swagger VS cherrybomb

Yeah the API is very similar but they serve different purposes as you mention here. It looks like there's been some discussion about aligning them since other people have had a similar observation.

1. openapi is not defined. https://github.com/nestjs/swagger/issues/1450

The repository for every optional NestJS package that has decorators seems to consistently put them in /lib/decorators. For example, here are the NestJS Swagger decorators.

NestJS provides a dedicated module which allows generating OpenAPI (Swagger) - Github - nestjs/swagger

Thanks to the system of extensions, Ditsmod applications are more expressive and with less code. For example, if you compare OpenAPI modules written in Ditsmod and NestJS, the Ditsmod module is 3.5 times smaller in the number of lines of code or the number of files.

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.
