Documentation

Overview

Package parser provides OpenAPI Specification (OAS) parsing functionality.

This package supports parsing and validating OpenAPI specifications across multiple versions, from OAS 2.0 (Swagger) through OAS 3.2.0. It handles YAML and JSON formats, resolves external references, and performs structural validation.

Supported Versions

The parser supports all official OpenAPI Specification releases:

All schema definitions use JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-01.html

Release candidate versions (e.g., 3.0.0-rc0) are detected but not officially supported.

Features

  • Multi-format parsing (YAML, JSON)
  • External reference resolution ($ref)
  • Path traversal protection for file references
  • Operation ID uniqueness validation
  • Status code format validation
  • Memory-efficient caching with limits

Security Considerations

The parser implements several security protections:

  • Path traversal prevention: External file references are restricted to the base directory and its subdirectories using filepath.Rel validation

  • Cache limits: A maximum of MaxCachedDocuments (default: 1000) external documents can be loaded to prevent memory exhaustion

  • HTTP(S) references: Remote URL references are not currently supported, limiting attack surface to local filesystem only

  • Input validation: All numeric status codes, operation IDs, and reference formats are validated before processing

Basic Usage 

opts := &parser.Options{
	StrictValidation: true,
	ResolveRefs:      true,
}

result, err := parser.ParseFile("openapi.yaml", opts)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("Parse failed: %v", err)
}

if !result.Valid {
	for _, issue := range result.Issues {
		fmt.Printf("%s: %s\n", issue.Severity, issue.Message)
	}
}

Performance Notes

When ResolveRefs is enabled, the parser performs additional marshaling/unmarshaling to resolve external references, which may impact performance on large documents. For read-only validation without reference resolution, set ResolveRefs to false.

The parser maintains internal maps (Extra fields) on all structs to preserve unknown fields during parsing, allowing for extension properties and forward compatibility. This trades some memory for flexibility.

Example

Example demonstrates basic usage of the parser to parse an OpenAPI specification file. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/erraggy/oastools/parser"
)

func main() {
	p := parser.New()

	result, err := p.Parse("../testdata/petstore-3.0.yaml")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to parse: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Version: %s\n", result.Version)
	fmt.Printf("Has errors: %v\n", len(result.Errors) > 0)

}

Output:

Version: 3.0.3
Has errors: false
Example (Oas2)

Example_oas2 demonstrates parsing an OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) specification. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/erraggy/oastools/parser"
)

func main() {
	p := parser.New()

	result, err := p.Parse("../testdata/petstore-2.0.yaml")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to parse: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Version: %s\n", result.Version)

	// Type assertion to access OAS 2.0-specific document structure
	if doc, ok := result.Document.(*parser.OAS2Document); ok {
		fmt.Printf("Swagger: %s\n", doc.Swagger)
	}

}

Output:

Version: 2.0
Swagger: 2.0
Example (Oas3)

Example_oas3 demonstrates parsing an OpenAPI 3.x specification and accessing version-specific fields. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/erraggy/oastools/parser"
)

func main() {
	p := parser.New()

	result, err := p.Parse("../testdata/petstore-3.0.yaml")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to parse: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Version: %s\n", result.Version)

	// Type assertion to access OAS 3.x-specific document structure
	if doc, ok := result.Document.(*parser.OAS3Document); ok {
		fmt.Printf("OpenAPI: %s\n", doc.OpenAPI)
		fmt.Printf("Has paths: %v\n", doc.Paths != nil)
	}

}

`

	p := parser.New()
	result, err := p.ParseBytes([]byte(specData))

	}

	fmt.Printf("Version: %s\n", result.Version)

}

Output:

Version: 3.0.3

  version: 1.0.0
paths: {}
`

	reader := strings.NewReader(specData)

	p := parser.New()

		log.Fatalf("failed to parse: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Version: %s\n", result.Version)

}

Output:

Version: 3.0.3

	result, err := p.Parse("../testdata/with-external-refs.yaml")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to parse: %v", err)
	}

func ParseVersion 

func ParseVersion(s string) (OASVersion, bool)

ParseVersion will attempt to parse the string s into an OASVersion, and returns false if not valid. This function supports: 1. Exact version matches (e.g., "2.0", "3.0.3") 2. Future patch versions in known major.minor series (e.g., "3.0.5" maps to "3.0.4") 3. Pre-release versions (e.g., "3.0.0-rc0") map to closest match without exceeding base version

For example: - "3.0.5" (not yet released) maps to OASVersion304 (3.0.4) - latest in 3.0.x series - "3.0.0-rc0" maps to OASVersion300 (3.0.0) - the base version - "3.0.5-rc1" maps to OASVersion304 (3.0.4) - closest without exceeding 3.0.5
