Description

As said in the extension section from the README

This project has a core artifact--swagger-parser, which uses Java Service Provider Inteface (SPI) so additional extensions can be added.

To build your own extension, you simply need to create a src/main/resources/META-INF/services/io.swagger.parser.SwaggerParserExtension file with the full classname of your implementation. Your class must also implement the io.swagger.parser.SwaggerParserExtension interface. Then, including your library with the swagger-parser module will cause it to be triggered automatically.

I've never worked with SPI before, even searching about it I couldn't make it work with swagger-parser.

Could you provide an example on how to add a custom extension parser?

Research direction

Start with the Extensions section in README and the io.swagger.parser.SwaggerParserExtension interface. Trace the documented META-INF/services/io.swagger.parser.SwaggerParserExtension path and determine the files needed for a minimal custom extension example. Done means the documentation includes a working example that can be used with swagger-parser.
