From Swagger

Files describing the RESTful API in accordance with the Swagger specification are represented as JSON objects and conform to the JSON standards. YAML, being a superset of JSON, can be used as well to represent a Swagger specification file.

Swagger projects are used to create APIs from a Swagger file.

For more information about the Swagger file format, refer to the link: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec/blob/master/versions/2.0.md

Target base path

Target server URL where the application needs to use the service.

Proxy context path

This is a text used to combine with the version number to act as an identifier to map a particular deployed project. The proxy resolves context path mappings prior to applying any matching policies (explained in subsequent topics).

  • Proxy Context Path combined with version number must be unique for every project.
  • Different versions of the same project (same project name with different version number) can have the same Context Path.
