About openapi-lint

openapi-lint README

This extension can be used to validate and lint) OpenAPI 3.0.x documents, and convert between OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0.0. It provides 11 Visual Studio Code commands:

• OpenAPI Validate - which fully validates your OpenAPI document against the specification • OpenAPI Lint - which additionally applies a lightly-opinionated set of best-practices • OpenAPI Resolve and Validate - which pulls in external $refs before validating • OpenAPI Resolve and Lint - which pulls in external $refs before linting • OpenAPI Resolve (Bundle) - which resolves external $refs to a new window • OpenAPI 2.0 to 3.0.0 (YAML) - which converts the current OpenAPI 2.0 document to 3.0.0 in YAML • OpenAPI 2.0 to 3.0.0 (JSON) - which converts the current OpenAPI 2.0 document to 3.0.0 in JSON • OpenAPI 2.0 to 3.0.0 (YAML/Resolved) - like the above but resolving external $refs • OpenAPI 2.0 to 3.0.0 (JSON/Resolved) - like the above but resolving external $refs • OpenAPI to JSON - which simply translates the current document to JSON • OpenAPI to YAML - which simply translates the current document to YAML

The validator enforces semantic restrictions which cannot be expressed by the JSON Schema which drives the intellisense features, so it will pick up on many more errors.

The linter applies a lightly opinionated set of 'best practices' to your API document, making it complete and comprehensive, as opposed to merely minimally valid.

The default linter rules are documented here. The linter DSL rules format is also documented.
