huma
A modern, simple, fast & flexible micro framework for building HTTP REST/RPC APIs in Go backed by OpenAPI 3 and JSON Schema.
Solutions to this problem generate API documentation automatically. Libraries such as drf-spectacular use code structure and semantics in back-end frameworks to infer API contracts. API frameworks such as FastAPI and Huma generate OpenAPI specifications as a built-in feature. Tools like mitmproxy2swagger generate documentation from HAR files. Finally, companies such as Akita Software/Postman use network traffic metadata.
