Questions

What OpenAPI versions are supported?
The validator supports OpenAPI 3.x specifications. It checks for required fields (openapi, info, paths), validates path structures, and reports missing descriptions and response codes.
Does it accept YAML format?
Yes, paste your spec in either JSON or YAML format. The validator auto-detects the format and parses accordingly.
Is the OpenAPI validator safe for internal API specs?
Yes, all validation runs in your browser. No specification data is sent to any server, so proprietary API definitions stay private.
What specific checks does the OpenAPI validator perform?
The validator checks for required top-level fields (openapi, info, paths), valid path structures, response codes, missing descriptions, and proper schema references. It reports each issue with its location in the spec.
Does the OpenAPI validator work offline?
Once the page is loaded, all validation logic runs in the browser with no network requests. You can validate specs without an internet connection.
