Description

The proposal

A LifeCycle object to describe the API lifecycle, eg:

info:
  lifecycle:
    maturity: published   # or deprecated,  retired, ...
    published_at: 2019-01-01
    deprecated_at: 2022-01-01
    retired_at: 2022-06-01

Data related to other version may be specified eg. via link relations

    links:
    - rel: prev
      url: https://prev-oas-spec
    - rel: next
      url: https://next-oas-spec

Benefits

Automatic discovery of API status.

Considerations

  • http://apisjson.org/ seems not maintained anymore
  • we already have deprecation informations in operations
  • lifecycle could contain further informations related to eg. versioning (link to previous spec versions)

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by reviewing the proposed LifeCycle shape, the 32-comment discussion, and the related OAI/sig-lifecycle#8 issue; completion would require an agreed design for maturity dates, version links, and interaction with existing operation deprecation information.
