Mike attended a Swaggerhub webinar, and they will have support for API 3.1 first quarter 2023
- They have 2 new products
  - Ready API that will consume an open API spec and create all the test suite
  - Pack Flow is a tool for developers where it will create both the client and server and test the API
- It's good to have Stop light, SmartBear/Swaggerhub and Postman.
  - There is a tool we have not used yet, Oxygen XML that Andy uses because it is written in JAVA and its platform independents, runs on Windows and Linux and Mac.
  - http://json-schema.org/blog/posts/validating-openapi-and-json-schema#without-schema-validation
  - https://apitools.dev/swagger-parser/online/#
When working with CAPIS, there is a need for our member companies to be able to pull the CAPIS into their system.
- Describe how to embed your schema and open API pack
- Provide some examples
JIRAS
- Need to review JIRAS
  - Need to create Jira for following enumeration and making sure we follow enumeration have test instances to validate
Parts properties vs arrays
- Mike showed two versions of his parts code. On one side he had the properties named and on the other he had array for those properties.
  - The array is flexible, but thy really not that many prices we run into an estimate, so the flatten with properties seems to work well.
Making changes that Break Previous release
- At this time, we should make sure everyone is aware that CAPIS is at an alpha release, there is no concept of backward compatibility until we do a full release.
Problem with current release structure/build
- JASON schemas folder that had child folders for schemas and definitions and then the schemas folder made references to the definitions and the definitions folder as dot dot back slash definitions back slash name of resource file.
- When we put out the release, the JASON schema folder and it has schemas, bundles, definitions and the schemas, so with the new folder structure, the definitions reference does not work.
Building up our support page
- We want to direct members to go to the support page and ask questions about implementation of CIECA Standards.
- For example, above when Dan was talking about how to pull the CAPIS standards into his company coding tools, this would be great to share with everyone and we can have examples of how to with the different tools we are using.
- However, I don’t want to be the only author of the questions, so when the each of you run into issues or think there is a great point, if you can add it to the Support Help page, we can build a good repository.

This is our Last Meeting of the Year! Have a happy and safe Holiday Season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
