Future plans

Hi,
With the deprecation of Apicurio Studio, I'm wondering what happens to Apicurito. Will this project still be a stripped down, standalone editor, now coming from the Apicurio Registry project, or will it be deprecated as well?
I think your visual API editor is great and if it did not exist I don't think my organization would have successfully adopted OpenAPI because then I would have needed to convince people to learn the OpenAPI syntax as a starting point, which would be a tall order, so thanks for all the hard work either way.

This is a good question. In my ideal world I would have the time to rewrite the editor as a React component so it could be more easily integrated into Apicurio Registry (and other Red Hat and/or IBM projects/products). However, the OpenAPI visual editor is a non-trivial technical investment, and even with AI assistance I'm not sure when that might happen. It remains sitting on my wishlist, waiting for ... something.

So yeah, we should consider Apicurito to be deprecated, with the hope that eventually it can be refreshed.

That said, I do want to thank you for the question and the validation. I started the Apicurio Studio project for the very reason you gave: to make it easier to create OpenAPI descriptions of APIs without needing to deeply learn the OpenAPI syntax. So I'm very happy to hear that it worked, at least for you. :)
