Fuse - Contract First API Design with Apicurio and Fuse/Camel - Part One
This is part one of my two-article series that demonstrates the approach of implementing contract-first API design using Apicurioand Red Hat Fuse.
It covers how to create an OpenAPI standard document as the contract between API providers and consumers using Apicurio. It also shows how to quickly create mock tests using Red Hat Fuse.
There are two common approaches of creating these APIs.
Code First Contract First Coming from a old time ESB developer, these are not new. We have been doing this forever. Before, it was the WSDL that define the contract of the service. we were doing a lot more code first, for me it's simply because it's much easier for me to write couple of Java classes and generate the WSDL for my consumer.
