API Specifications

AsyncAPI Specification

AsyncAPI is the open standard for describing event-driven and message-driven APIs across protocols such as Kafka, AMQP, MQTT, WebSocket, NATS, and SNS/SQS. AsyncAPI 3.0 (December 2023) decoupled operations from channels, enabling clearer modelling of pub/sub, request/reply, and streaming patterns. AsyncAPI is governed by the AsyncAPI Initiative under the Linux Foundation, distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
