Visulima jsdoc-open-api parser and generator is a forked version of openapi-comment-parser and swagger-jsdoc its built on top of swagger and JSDoc, for speed and minimal runtime overhead.
Daniel Bannert's open source work is supported by the community on GitHub Sponsors

*/You can write OpenAPI definitions in JSDoc comments or YAML files. In this guide, we use only JSDoc comments examples. However, YAML files work equally as well.
Each comment defines individual endpoints (paths) in your API, and the HTTP methods (operations) supported by these endpoints.
For example, GET /users can be described as:
/**
* GET /users
* @summary Returns a list of users.
* @description Optional extended description in CommonMark or HTML.
* @response 200 - A JSON array of user names
* @responseContent {string[]} 200.application/json
*/Operations can have parameters passed via URL path (/users/{userId}), query string (/users?role=admin),
headers (X-CustomHeader: Value) or cookies (Cookie: debug=0).
You can define the parameter data types, format, whether they are required or optional, and other details:
/**
* GET /users/{userId}
* @summary Returns a user by ID.
* @pathParam {int64} userId - Parameter description in CommonMark or HTML.
* @response 200 - OK
*/For more information, see Describing Parameters.
If an operation sends a request body, use the bodyContent keyword to describe the body content and media type.
Use bodyRequired to indicate that a request body is required.
/**
* POST /users
* @summary Creates a user.
* @bodyContent {User} application/json
* @bodyRequired
* @response 201 - Created
*/For more information, see Describing Request Body.
For each operation, you can define possible status codes, such as 200 OK or 404 Not Found, and the response body content. You can also provide example responses for different content types:
/**
* GET /users/{userId}
* @summary Returns a user by ID.
* @pathParam {int64} userId - The ID of the user to return.
* @response 200 - A user object.
* @responseContent {User} 200.application/json
* @response 400 - The specified user ID is invalid (not a number).
* @response 404 - A user with the specified ID was not found.
* @response default - Unexpected error
*/For more information, see Describing Responses.
You can create global components/schemas section lets you define common data structures used in your API.
They can be referenced by name whenever a schema is required – in parameters, request bodies, and response bodies.
For example, this JSON object:
{
"id": 4,
"name": "Arthur Dent"
}Can be represented as:
components:
schemas:
User:
properties:
id:
type: integer
name:
type: string
# Both properties are required
required:
- id
- nameAnd then referenced in the request body schema and response body schema as follows:
/**
* GET /users/{userId}
* @summary Returns a user by ID.
* @pathParam {integer} userId
* @response 200 - OK
* @responseContent {User} 200.application/json
*/
/**
* POST /users
* @summary Creates a new user.
* @bodyContent {User} application/json
* @bodyRequired
* @response 201 - Created
*/The securitySchemes and security keywords are used to describe the authentication methods used in your API.
components:
securitySchemes:
BasicAuth:
type: http
scheme: basic/**
* GET /users
* @security BasicAuth
*/Supported authentication methods are:
- HTTP authentication: Basic, Bearer, and so on.
- API key as a header or query parameter or in cookies
- OAuth 2
- OpenID Connect Discovery
For more information, see Authentication.
