👀 Get rolling fast using libopenapi with the Parsing OpenAPI files using go guide 👀

Or, follow these steps and see something in a few seconds.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/main/_archive_/schemas/v3.0/pass/petstore.yaml > petstorev3.json

go get github.com/pb33f/libopenapi

Copy and paste this code into a main.go file.

package main import ( "fmt" "os" "github.com/pb33f/libopenapi" ) func main() { petstore, _ := os.ReadFile("petstorev3.json") document, err := libopenapi.NewDocument(petstore) if err != nil { panic(fmt.Sprintf("cannot create new document: %e", err))	} docModel, err := document.BuildV3Model() if err != nil { panic(fmt.Sprintf("cannot create v3 model from document: %e", err))	} // The following fails after the first iteration for schemaName, schema := range docModel.Model.Components.Schemas.FromOldest() { if schema.Schema().Properties != nil { fmt.Printf("Schema '%s' has %d properties\n", schemaName, schema.Schema().Properties.Len())	}	} }

Run it, which should print out:

Schema 'Pet' has 3 properties Schema 'Error' has 2 properties
