AsyncAPI

aid: asyncapi
name: AsyncAPI
description: AsyncAPI is a Linux Foundation project that improves the state of event-driven architectures by providing an
  open specification and tooling ecosystem for defining asynchronous and event-driven APIs. It enables developers to document,
  validate, generate code, and manage message-driven APIs across protocols including Kafka, MQTT, WebSocket, AMQP, and others.
  The AsyncAPI specification serves as the industry standard for describing asynchronous messaging interfaces, similar to
  how OpenAPI serves REST APIs.

  description: The AsyncAPI Specification is an open standard for describing asynchronous and event-driven APIs. It provides
    a machine-readable format for defining messaging interfaces across protocols like Kafka, MQTT, WebSocket, and AMQP, enabling
    documentation generation, code generation, and validation tooling for event-driven architectures.
