This serves as the official future of AsyncAPI.NET.
To be able to give the level of support I want, I have had to fork my original work from the ByteBard Group, and create my own.
This is unfortunate, but after much back and not a lot of forth, I have decided that it was time.
The AsyncAPI.NET SDK contains a useful object model for the AsyncAPI specification in .NET along with common serializers to extract raw AsyncAPI JSON and YAML documents from the model as well.
Generally you wan't to use Readers and Bindings.
They have however been split to allow for different scenarios without polluting with unnecesary packages.
Install the NuGet packages:
ByteBard.AsyncAPI.NET
ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Readers
ByteBard.AsyncAPI.Bindings
Example Usage
Main classes to know:
AsyncApiStringReader
AsyncApiStringWriter
There is an extension on the AsyncApiDocument type which allows Serializing as well (new AsyncApiDocument().SerializeAsJson() or new AsyncApiDocument().SerializeAsYaml()
Writing
var myFirstAsyncApi = new AsyncApiDocument
{
Info = new AsyncApiInfo
{
Title = "my first asyncapi",
},
Channels = new Dictionary<string, AsyncApiChannel>
{
{
"users", new AsyncApiChannel
{
Subscribe = new AsyncApiOperation
{
OperationId = "users",
Description = "my users channel",
Message = new List<AsyncApiMessage>
{
new AsyncApiMessageReference("#/components/messages/MyMessage"),
},
},
}
},
},
Components = new AsyncApiComponents
{
Messages = new Dictionary<string, AsyncApiMessage>
{
{
"MyMessage", new AsyncApiMessage
{
Name = "Hello!",
}
},
},
},
};
var yaml = myFirstAsyncApi.SerializeAsYaml(AsyncApi);
//asyncapi: 2.6.0
// info:
// title: my first asyncapi
//channels:
// users:
// subscribe:
// operationId: users
// description: my users channel
// message:
// $ref: '#/components/messages/MyMessage'
//components:
// messages:
// MyMessage:
// name: Hello!
Reading
There are 3 reader types
AsyncApiStringReader
AsyncApiTextReader
AsyncApiStreamReader
All 3 supports both json and yaml.
StreamReader
var httpClient = new HttpClient
{
BaseAddress = new Uri("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asyncapi/spec/"),
};
var stream = await httpClient.GetStreamAsync("master/examples/streetlights-kafka.yml");
var asyncApiDocument = new AsyncApiStreamReader().Read(stream, out var diagnostic);
StringReader
var yaml =
"""
asyncapi: 2.6.0
info:
title: my first asyncapi
channels:
users:
subscribe:
operationId: users
description: my users channel
message:
$ref: '#/components/messages/MyMessage'
components:
messages:
MyMessage:
name: Hello!
""";
var asyncApiDocument = new AsyncApiStringReader().Read(yaml, out var diagnostic);
All readers will write warnings and errors to the diagnostics.
Reference Resolution
Internal references are resolved by default. This includes component and non-component references e.g #/components/messages/MyMessage and #/servers/0.
External references can be resolved by setting ReferenceResolution to ResolveAllReferences.
The default implementation will resolve anything prefixed with file://, http:// & https://, however a custom implementation can be made, by inhereting from the IStreamLoader interface and setting the ExternalReferenceLoader in the AsyncApiReaderSettings.
External references are always force converted to Json during resolution. This means that both yaml and json is supported - but not other serialization languages.
var settings = new AsyncApiReaderSettings { ReferenceResolution = ReferenceResolution.ResolveAllReferences };
var document = new AsyncApiStringReader(settings).Read(json, out var diagnostics);
Reference resolution can be disabled by setting ReferenceResolution to DoNotResolveReferences.
Bindings
To add support for reading bindings, simply add the bindings you wish to support, to the Bindings collection of AsyncApiReaderSettings.
There is a nifty helper to add different types of bindings, or like in the example All of them.
var settings = new AsyncApiReaderSettings();
settings.Bindings = BindingsCollection.All;
var asyncApiDocument = new AsyncApiStringReader(settings).Read(yaml, out var diagnostic);
