Actually the library only supports a subset of the OpenApi 2 functionality, but we'll add additional during the time. Installation ------------ [](#installation) If you want to write an application that uses RESTFul API, you have to install it using Composer. To do this, simply add it to the dependencies in your `composer.json` ``` { "require": { "appserver-io/restapi": "~1.0" } } ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Simply register the two servlets `AppserverIo\RestApi\Servlets\SwaggerServlet` and `AppserverIo\RestApi\Servlets\ApiServlet` in the `WEB-INF/web.xml` file. The main description of your webservices can be done through the annotations of Rob Allens library [zircote/swagger-php](https://github.com/zircote/swagger-php/tree/2.x). ### The Servlet Configuration [](#the-servlet-configuration) The configuration has to be done in the `WEB-INF/web.xml` file as shown in this example ``` my-api My API web application my-api/session-name> my-api_session_ A servlet that handles DHTML files. The DHTML Servlet dhtml AppserverIo\Appserver\ServletEngine\Servlets\DhtmlServlet A servlet that renders the content of the Swagger definition. The Swgger Servlet swagger AppserverIo\RestApi\Servlets\SwaggerServlet A servlet that handles the RESTFul API requests. The API Servlet api AppserverIo\RestApi\Servlets\ApiServlet RequestHandlerFactory RequestHandlerFactory AppserverIo\RestApi\Servlets\ApiServlet requestHandlerFactory api OA2 dhtml *.dhtml swagger /swagger.do api /api.do 500 /dhtml/500.dhtml ``` ### Annotate the Beans [](#annotate-the-beans) After the web application has been configured, simple annotate the classes that you want to expose as webserver with the necessary annotations like ``` /** * A SLSB implementation providing some API functionality. * * @EPB\Stateless * * @SWG\Info( * title="My API", * version="1.0.0" * ) * * @SWG\Swagger( * schemes={"http"}, * host="127.0.0.1:9080", * basePath="/my-api/api.do" * ) */ class SomeProcessor { /** * Returns the DTO with the passed ID. * * @param integer $id The ID of the DTO to return * * @return \Ma\Api\Dtos\MyDto The DTO with the data * * @SWG\Get( * path="/traveltaxpackages/{id}", * operationId="find", * produces={"application/json"}, * @SWG\Parameter( * name="id", * in="path", * description="The ID of the DTO to return", * required=true, * type="integer" * ), * @SWG\Response( * response="200", * description="The DTO", * @SWG\Schema( * ref="#/definitions/MyDto" * ) * ) * ) */ public function find($id) { // return an array with serializable DTOs here } } ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Open the browser and enter the URL which should result in rendering the Swagger configuration. ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~96 days Recently: every ~16 days Total 11 Last Release 1837d ago Major Versions 1.2.x-dev → 2.0.02021-05-03 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/76b54aaecf7287a0520eec0009161ca457982dee83ac413bfa0d818b72d79947?d=identicon)[wagnert](/maintainers/wagnert) --- Top Contributors [![wagnert](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/287509?v=4)](https://github.com/wagnert "wagnert (28 commits)") ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/appserver-io-restapi/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/appserver-io-restapi/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/appserver-io-restapi) ``` ### Alternatives [darkaonline/l5-swagger OpenApi or Swagger integration to Laravel 2.9k34.0M112](/packages/darkaonline-l5-swagger)[willdurand/hateoas A PHP library to support implementing representations for HATEOAS REST web services 1.0k15.8M19](/packages/willdurand-hateoas)[darkaonline/swagger-lume OpenApi or Swagger integration to Lumen 3372.3M3](/packages/darkaonline-swagger-lume)[jlapp/swaggervel A great way to integrate Swagger into Laravel 492931.6k2](/packages/jlapp-swaggervel)[light/yii2-swagger swagger intergation with yii2 154801.6k4](/packages/light-yii2-swagger)[allure-framework/allure-php-api Allure PHP commons 3411.1M7](/packages/allure-framework-allure-php-api) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
