Swagger and apiconfig files
Swagger files and apiconfig files do not directly define schema behavior. But they do contain information related to schemas. For the sake of completeness, they are defined here.
Swagger files
Within the context of Cloud API, a swagger file defines the endpoints and operations for a given API. Typically, there is no need for an insurers to configure a Cloud API swagger file.
Swagger files are stored in the /apis
subdirectory.
Swagger file syntax
A swagger file can contain a section that defines an API. For example, the following
is a portion of the common_pl-1.0.swagger.yaml
file, which defines
the Common API.
A swagger file can also contain a paths
section, which defines a set
of endpoint paths and the associated operations and resources for that path. For
example, the following is a portion of the
common_pl-1.0.swagger.yaml
file, which defines the first path
in the Common API, /activities
.
Apiconfig files
Within the context of Cloud API, an apiconfig file is a glue file that maps both resources to Gosu files. The apiconfig file is also where default sort orders for collections are defined.
The only time you need to configure an apiconfig file to connect resources to Gosu files is when you are completing a configuration for CRUD endpoints created by the REST endpoint generator. For more information, see Configuring glue and impl classes for generated endpoints.
For more information on defining default sort orders, see Sorting a collection.
