Swagger UI

By means of the REST Service APIs, Product 360 provides a set of powerful services that allow the read and write to almost any data described by the repository. However, in order to harness the true power of these functionalities, extensive Service API knowledge is sometimes needed to understand the parameters and metadata related to it.

With the release of Product 360 10.1, a dedicated Swagger UI utility that translates in-detail the full capabilities of the List API as well as the Management API is provided. The web-based accelerator offers a complete suite for interacting with these resources and their operations, thereby increasing the productivity in client implementations. With the aid of the Swagger UI, business users and workflow designers can quickly adopt the List and Management APIs by interacting with the visually rendered auto-generated OpenAPI specification which includes all repository-specific parameters as well. And with the one-step simple plug and play deployment, Swagger UI is available on Windows and Linux platforms in both standalone and service modes.

Platform Enhancements

Visual scaffolding for server stubs

The automatic visual documentation of the Service APIs makes client-side implementation and consumption convenient.

Customer-specific data model API specification and metadata generation

The Swagger UI generates customer-specific entity definitions, which can be rebuilt anytime and as needed if subsequent data model changes apply. And an auto generated OpenAPI specification, with dynamically built metadata information, offers the most powerful and easy way to take full advantage of the Service APIs.

Intuitive user experience and integrated orchestration

Field lists and operations, auto generated from the metadata engine, assist users to interact with the Service APIs without having to read manuals and research precise Service API operations or syntax definitions any longer. Furthermore, the Swagger UI publishes Service API's in CURL and REST formats which can be integrated into project implementations and workflow setups.
