About Open API Initiative
The Open API Initiative (OAI) was created by a consortium of forward-looking industry experts who recognize the immense value of standardizing on how REST APIs are described. As an open governance structure under The Linux Foundation, the OAI is focused on creating, evolving and promoting a vendor-neutral description format. SmartBear Software donated the Swagger Specification directly to the OAI as the basis of the OpenAPI Specification. Visit https://www.openapis.org/ for more information.
