Why AsyncAPI?
Improving the current state of Event-Driven Architectures (EDA)
Specification
Allows you to define the interfaces of asynchronous APIs and is protocol agnostic.
Document APIs
Use our tools to generate documentation at the build level, on a server, and on a client.
Code Generation
Generate documentation, Code (TypeScript, Java, C#, etc), and more out of your AsyncAPI files.
Community
We're a community of great people who are passionate about AsyncAPI and event-driven architectures.
Open Governance
Our Open-Source project is part of Linux Foundation and works under an Open Governance model.
And much more...
We have many different tools and welcome you to explore our ideas and propose new ideas to AsyncAPI.

What the experts are saying
Microservices underline the need for event-based communication in distributed architectures. AsyncAPI brings the richness of the REST API ecosystem to asynchronous APIs.
Event-driven APIs need love too! AsyncAPI brings the many benefits of a machine/human readable specification to these nuanced approaches.
Developers need to be able to quickly and consistently create event-driven applications that provide business value and react to customer needs in realtime. I can't count how many times I've heard developers ask for OpenAPI/Swagger style tools for the asynchronous and event driven world, and that is exactly what the AsyncAPI initiative is making a reality.
We’ve been focusing on event-driven APIs since 2014 and thank the AsyncAPI contributors everyday for driving the community towards common standards.
