  • Express is a popular backend JavaScript framework for building landing pages and integrated content management systems or integrating APIs with other tools. With over twenty million weekly downloads on npm at the time of writing, the framework's popularity comes from its ease of setup and use, extensibility with first- and third-party middleware functions, and its flexible built-in router.

  • open-api

    A Monorepo of various packages to power OpenAPI in node

  • While you've learned to create an Express application with express-openapi in this section, it's been light on information about the OpenAPI specification and the express-openapi package. You can start with the OpenAPI guide if you'd like to learn more about the OpenAPI specification and the express-openapi documentation for more information on how to use the package.

  • cli

    Bump.sh CLI - Deploy your OpenAPI & AsyncAPI documentations from your CI (by bump-sh)

  • Bump.sh provides a command line interface (CLI) tool that lets you easily preview your API documentation while it's in development (with support for live reloading), deploy versions of your documentation automatically from your CI build step, compare changes made between versions of your API, as well as notify consumers of changes made to your APIs.
