I'll ding one more thing about Open API 3.

While it is an open spec, the spec maintainer, Swagger, definitely keeps its fingerprint on it for business reasons. Among other issues, their validation tools in particular require a sign-up. Postman also has an Open API 3 schema builder, but also requires a sign up. There is no technical reason for this, and you have to trust Swagger or Postman to be responsible with your API schema. I believe this front-and-center branding of the spec itself makes it not as appealing or dynamic as it otherwise would be

edit ApiBldr seems ok: https://apibldr.com/

edit 2 AsyncAPI seems interesting: https://www.asyncapi.com/




You may want to give https://apitools.dev/swagger-parser/online/ a try to validate OpenAPI (fka Swagger) files.

You can do it online without a sign up or use the API or CLI according to your preference.
