Swagger to CentraSite REST API Mappings
This section describes how the Swagger objects and properties (as described in the Swagger specification) are mapped in the CentraSite REST data model. It shows the relationships between the Swagger root section, parameters, body fields, and their REST data model. It also lists the relationships between Swagger resources, methods, reference documentation, and security schemes, and how these values are mapped in REST API.
Note:
CentraSite supports Swagger version 2.0.
The following tables list the correspondences (mappings) between the fields of a RESTful API and Swagger document.
Swagger Root Section Fields
The Root section of the Swagger definition describes the basic information of a RESTful API, such as its title, external documents, security schemes and references.
