Missing JSON OpenAPI definition

[jerstlouis]

The API definition for the STAC API at https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1 is only available as YAML, and not as JSON as usually available from deployments of OGC API - Features.

Since the deployment declares conformance to both the oas30 and geojson requirement classes of OGC API - Features, according to
Requirement 37 in the GeoJSON requirement class and Requirement 45 in the OpenAPI 3.0 requirement class, the server must support the application/vnd.oai.openapi+json;version=3.0 media type (a JSON version of the OpenAPI definition) in order to conform to both of these requirements classes.

This issue was encountered in OGC Testbed 20 GeoDataCubes task and discussed in an upcoming Engineering Report (OGC 24-035).

@jerstlouis thanks for the report

Taking a look at the STAC api spec on the service-desc link, it looks like service-desc is allowed to be YAML or JSON. If this is out of alignment with OGC Features, then I think an issue should be raised in https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec
