Zally: A minimalistic, simple-to-use OpenAPI 2 and 3 linter

Latest Release Test Status Build Status

GitHub contributors GitHub License

Zally is a quality assurance tool. It's a linter for OpenAPI specifications, it performs the following tasks :

  • Increases the quality of APIs
  • Checks compliance
  • Delivers early feedback for API designers
  • Ensures the same look-and-feel of APIs
  • Supports API-First approach
  • Provides best practices and advices

Its standard configuration will check your APIs against the rules defined in Zalando's RESTful Guidelines, but anyone can use it out-of-the-box.

Zally has an easy-to-use CLI which uses the server in the background so that you can check your API on the spot. It also features an intuitive Web UI that shows implemented rules and lints external files and (with its online editor) API definitions.

Features

  • Support for OpenAPI 3 and (Swagger) OpenAPI 2 specifications
  • RESTful API, CLI and Web interface
  • Rich Check configuration
  • Ignore functionality (x-zally-ignore extension)
  • Java/Kotlin API for new Checks + helper functions

Quick start guide

Trying out Zally is easy. You can build and run the whole Zally stack (web-ui, server and database) by executing:

./build-and-run.sh

Web UI is accessible on http://localhost:8080; Zally server on http://localhost:8000
