Excerpt

API Security with Spectral

Overview

Spectral is a flexible JSON/YAML linter from Stoplight that validates API specifications against security best practices and organizational standards. With built-in rulesets for OpenAPI v2/v3.x, AsyncAPI v2.x, and Arazzo v1.0, Spectral helps identify security vulnerabilities, design flaws, and compliance issues during the API design phase—before code is written. Custom rulesets enable enforcement of OWASP API Security Top 10 patterns, authentication standards, and data protection requirements across your entire API portfolio.
