| 1 | +# Upgrade guide to OpenAPI.NET 3.0 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Introduction |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +We are excited to announce OpenAPI.NET v3.0! This major update introduces support for OpenAPI v3.2 specification along with several API enhancements and refinements to the existing model architecture. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +> [!WARNING] |
| 8 | +> This is a major version update that includes breaking changes. Please review this guide carefully before upgrading. |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | +## OpenAPI v3.2 Support |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The primary focus of OpenAPI.NET v3.0 is adding comprehensive support for OpenAPI specification v3.2. This includes new serialization methods, enhanced model properties, and expanded functionality across the entire API surface. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### New Serialization Methods |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +All serializable components now include a `SerializeAsV32` method alongside the existing serialization methods: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +```csharp |
| 19 | +// v2.x |
| 20 | +document.SerializeAsV31(writer); |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +// v3.0 |
| 23 | +document.SerializeAsV31(writer); |
| 24 | +document.SerializeAsV32(writer); // New! |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### OpenApiSpecVersion Enum Update |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +A new version constant has been added: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```csharp |
| 32 | +public enum OpenApiSpecVersion |
| 33 | +{ |
| 34 | + OpenApi2_0 = 0, |
| 35 | + OpenApi3_0 = 1, |
| 36 | + OpenApi3_1 = 2, |
| 37 | + OpenApi3_2 = 3, // New! |
| 38 | +} |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Enhanced Media Type Support |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### IOpenApiMediaType Interface |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Media types are now represented by the `IOpenApiMediaType` interface, providing better abstraction and consistency across the API: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```csharp |
| 48 | +// v2.x |
| 49 | +public IDictionary<string, OpenApiMediaType>? Content { get; set; } |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +// v3.0 |
| 52 | +public IDictionary<string, IOpenApiMediaType>? Content { get; set; } |
| 53 | +``` |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### New Media Type Properties |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +The `IOpenApiMediaType` interface includes additional properties for enhanced functionality: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +```csharp |
| 60 | +public interface IOpenApiMediaType |
| 61 | +{ |
| 62 | + IDictionary<string, OpenApiEncoding>? Encoding { get; } |
| 63 | + JsonNode? Example { get; } |
| 64 | + IDictionary<string, IOpenApiExample>? Examples { get; } |
| 65 | + OpenApiEncoding? ItemEncoding { get; } // New! |
| 66 | + IOpenApiSchema? ItemSchema { get; } // New! |
| 67 | + IList<OpenApiEncoding>? PrefixEncoding { get; } // New! |
| 68 | + IOpenApiSchema? Schema { get; } |
| 69 | +} |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### MediaTypes in Components |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Components now support reusable media types: |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```csharp |
| 77 | +public class OpenApiComponents |
| 78 | +{ |
| 79 | + public IDictionary<string, IOpenApiMediaType>? MediaTypes { get; set; } // New! |
| 80 | + // ... other existing properties |
| 81 | +} |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +## Enhanced Example Support |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### New Example Properties |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Example objects now support additional data representation options: |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +```csharp |
| 91 | +public class OpenApiExample : IOpenApiExample |
| 92 | +{ |
| 93 | + public JsonNode? DataValue { get; set; } // New! |
| 94 | + public string? SerializedValue { get; set; } // New! |
| 95 | + public string? ExternalValue { get; set; } |
| 96 | + public JsonNode? Value { get; set; } |
| 97 | + // ... other properties |
| 98 | +} |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +## Security Scheme Enhancements |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +### Deprecated Property |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +Security schemes now support a deprecated flag: |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +```csharp |
| 108 | +public interface IOpenApiSecurityScheme |
| 109 | +{ |
| 110 | + bool Deprecated { get; } // New! |
| 111 | + // ... other existing properties |
| 112 | +} |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### Device Authorization Flow |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +OAuth flows now support device authorization: |

| 155 | + |
| 156 | +```csharp |
| 157 | +// v2.x |
| 158 | +public interface IOpenApiResponse : IOpenApiDescribedElement, ... |
| 159 | +{ |
| 160 | + // No summary support |
| 161 | +} |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +// v3.0 |
| 164 | +public interface IOpenApiResponse : IOpenApiDescribedElement, |
| 165 | + IOpenApiSummarizedElement, ... // New! |
| 166 | +{ |
| 167 | + // Inherits Summary property from IOpenApiSummarizedElement |
| 168 | +} |
| 169 | +``` |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +## XML Improvements |

| 183 | +} |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +// v3.0 |
| 186 | +public class OpenApiXml |
| 187 | +{ |
| 188 | + public OpenApiXmlNodeType? NodeType { get; set; } // New! |
| 189 | +} |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +public enum OpenApiXmlNodeType |
| 192 | +{ |
| 193 | + Element = 0, |
| 194 | + Attribute = 1, |
| 195 | + Text = 2, |
| 196 | + Cdata = 3, |
| 197 | + None = 4, |
| 198 | +} |
| 199 | +``` |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +## Discriminator Enhancements |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +### Default Mapping Support |
| 204 | + |

| 207 | +```csharp |
| 208 | +public class OpenApiDiscriminator |
| 209 | +{ |
| 210 | + public OpenApiSchemaReference? DefaultMapping { get; set; } // New! |
| 211 | + // ... other existing properties |
| 212 | +} |
| 213 | +``` |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +## Document Enhancements |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +### Self-Reference Support |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +Documents can now specify their own identity URI: |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +```csharp |
| 222 | +public class OpenApiDocument |
| 223 | +{ |
| 224 | + public Uri? Self { get; set; } // New! |
| 225 | + // ... other existing properties |
| 226 | +} |
| 227 | +``` |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +## Parameter Location Enhancements |

| 282 | +``` |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +## Visitor Pattern Updates |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +### Interface-Based Visiting |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +The visitor pattern now works with interface types for better abstraction: |
| 289 | + |
| 290 | +```csharp |
| 291 | +// v2.x |
| 292 | +public virtual void Visit(OpenApiMediaType mediaType) { } |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +// v3.0 |
| 295 | +public virtual void Visit(IOpenApiMediaType mediaType) { } |
| 296 | +``` |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +## Version Detection |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +### New Version Detection Method |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +```csharp |
| 303 | +public static class VersionService |
| 304 | +{ |
| 305 | + public static bool is3_2(this string version) { } // New! |
| 306 | + // ... other existing version methods |
| 307 | +} |
| 308 | +``` |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +## Migration Steps |
| 311 | + |
| 312 | +### 1. Update Media Type References |
| 313 | + |
| 314 | +Replace concrete `OpenApiMediaType` references with `IOpenApiMediaType`: |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +```csharp |
| 317 | +// Before |
| 318 | +public IDictionary<string, OpenApiMediaType>? Content { get; set; } |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | +// After |
| 321 | +public IDictionary<string, IOpenApiMediaType>? Content { get; set; } |
| 322 | +``` |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +### 2. Update XML Object Usage |
| 325 | + |
| 326 | +Replace boolean properties with the new enum-based approach: |
| 327 | + |
| 328 | +```csharp |
| 329 | +// Before |
| 330 | +var xml = new OpenApiXml |
| 331 | +{ |
| 332 | + Attribute = true, |
| 333 | + Wrapped = false |
| 334 | +}; |
| 335 | + |
| 336 | +// After |
| 337 | +var xml = new OpenApiXml |
| 338 | +{ |
| 339 | + NodeType = OpenApiXmlNodeType.Attribute |
| 340 | +}; |
| 341 | +``` |
| 342 | + |
| 343 | +### 3. Update Visitor Implementations |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +Update visitor methods to use interface types: |
| 346 | + |
| 347 | +```csharp |
| 348 | +// Before |
| 349 | +public override void Visit(OpenApiMediaType mediaType) { /* ... */ } |
| 350 | + |
| 351 | +// After |
| 352 | +public override void Visit(IOpenApiMediaType mediaType) { /* ... */ } |
| 353 | +``` |
| 354 | + |
| 355 | +### 4. Add v3.2 Serialization Support |
| 356 | + |
| 357 | +If you have custom serialization logic, add support for v3.2: |
| 358 | + |
| 359 | +```csharp |
| 360 | +public void SerializeAsV32(IOpenApiWriter writer) |
| 361 | +{ |
| 362 | + // Implement v3.2 specific serialization |
| 363 | + SerializeInternal(writer, OpenApiSpecVersion.OpenApi3_2); |
| 364 | +} |
| 365 | +``` |
| 366 | + |
| 367 | +## Breaking Changes Summary |
| 368 | + |
| 369 | +1. **Media Type Abstraction**: `OpenApiMediaType` replaced with `IOpenApiMediaType` interface in collection properties |
| 370 | +2. **XML Object Refactoring**: `Attribute` and `Wrapped` boolean properties replaced with `NodeType` enum |
| 371 | +3. **Visitor Pattern**: Methods now accept interface types instead of concrete types |
| 372 | +4. **Response Interface**: `IOpenApiResponse` now extends `IOpenApiSummarizedElement` |
| 373 | + |
| 374 | +## New Features Summary |
| 375 | + |
