using swagger documentation or Hydra:ApiDocumentation for newly API

1.6k Views Asked by At

I am currently in the process of choosing a technology/format to expose my API. It seems there are lots of discussion on this topic, but could not find the one for future use. I am planning to use Hydra:

http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/hydra

as it seems to be fully restfull (hypermedia api) but it seems it is not accepted yet (neither HAL is).

when I go to : http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/hydra/api-demo/vocab, I get a json that seems to be what swagger returns.

my questions: - is Hydra Documentation meant to be sthg like swagger - could find any tool for it like swagger has. - I would prefer using Hydra as it seems it has more description on operations... by using json-ld, but it does not seem to be as supported as Hal or swagger is. -does anyone have experience with hydra

Great that you consider using Hydra. You are right, we do not have extensive tooling yet but that's just a matter of time. In fact, I'm already working on a documentation generator. If you have further questions regarding Hydra, please don't hesitate to post to our mailing list. There are a lot of people on that list that will be happy to help.
