About
OpenAPI is a specification language for defining HTTP APIs, typically written in YAML or
JSON.
It enables automated generation of interactive documentation (via tools such as Swagger UI and Redoc), schema-based request and response validation, automatic creation of client SDKs and server stubs in multiple programming languages, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
Really Simple Discovery (RSD) is an XML format that allows client software to discover services provided by web publishing systems.
It helps clients find endpoints for reading, editing, and interacting with website content through APIs.
