Kopapi is library to generate OpenAPI documentation from Ktor routes.

Quick sample usage before diving into the Wiki:

get("/items/{data_id}") {
    // Implement as usual
} api {
    tags = setOf("Items", "Data")
    summary = "Retrieve data items."
    description = "Fetches all items for a group."
    operationId = "getDataItems"
    pathParameter<Uuid>("data_id") { description = "The data set Id." }
    queryParameter<String>("item_id") { description = "Optional item Id to locate." }
    response<List<Item>>(status = HttpStatusCode.OK) { description = "Successful fetch." }
    response(status = HttpStatusCode.NotFound) { description = "Data not found." }
    defaultResponse { description = "Unexpected issue." }
    bearerSecurity(name = "Authentication") { description = "Access to data." }
}

• Full support for arbitrary types, including generics, collections and complex nested structures.
• Schema outputs in YAML or JSON format.
• Provides Swagger UI and ReDoc out of the box.
• Flexible and expressive DSL builder.
• Support for Kotlinx annotations, (Jackson annotations are partially supported).
• Includes a Dashboard to review/analize the output.
• Minimally invasive integration. No unnatural modifications to the routes.
• Well documented.
