  • Support YAML using PyYAML.
  • Support RAML using pyraml-parser.
  • Support JSON using Python 2.6+ json module, or Python 3.x json module.
• Provide enhanced PyRAML API model.
  • Reuse PyRAML extensible API spec loader and parameter converters.
  • Use extensible flask-mime-encoders for request/response body decoding/encoding.
• Provide enhanced route decorator with optional API request/response middleware layers.
  • Auto-decode request body based on Content-Type header (for JSON, it reuses Flask auto-decoding).
  • Convert and validate URI/query parameters.
  • Auto-encode response with specified route encoders mimetype.
• Make it simple to serve API example response of requested/default MIME type.

  • Extend raml2html API docs generator.
    • Add parameter details (min/max lenght/value, pattern).
    • Add API console for testing.
• Add autoselect encoder (based on request Accept header) to flask-mime-encoders.
• Add request body JSON schema validation.
  • Extend raml-js-parser to embed local JSON schema references for validation.
