About:
Oasdiff is a command-line tool that compares two OpenAPI specifications to identify differences and highlight breaking changes. It helps API maintainers ensure backward compatibility and manage versioning effectively. The tool supports JSON, YAML, and YAML formats for both input and output.
Key Features:
  • Detects breaking and non-breaking changes
  • Supports JSON, YAML, and YAML output formats
  • Can compare API endpoints, schemas, and security requirements
  • Offers customizable rules for change detection
Use Cases:
  • Validating API changes before deployment to prevent breaking clients
  • Automating API contract checks in CI/CD pipelines
  • Documenting API version diffs for release notes
Alternatives:
  • openapi-diff – Java-based alternative with similar functionality but requires JVM
  • swagger-diff – Ruby gem for comparing Swagger/OpenAPI specs, less actively maintained
