oasdiff is a Go CLI tool and GitHub Action that diffs OpenAPI/Swagger specifications and detects breaking API changes, generating changelogs, side-by-side reviews, and validation reports. It integrates into CI pipelines to block merges containing unapproved breaking changes and supports OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 migration-aware comparisons.

Use cases

  • detect breaking changes between two openapi specs in ci
  • fail a pull request when the api contract breaks
  • generate a changelog from openapi spec diffs
  • migrate openapi 3.0 specs to 3.1 without false-positive diffs
  • compare microservice api specs behind a gateway
  • validate an openapi spec against openapi and schema rules
  • share a side-by-side api spec review with teammates

When to choose

  • you maintain a REST API with an OpenAPI spec and want to prevent accidental breaking changes
  • you need automated API contract checks in GitHub Actions or other CI
  • you want changelogs or diffs generated from OpenAPI definitions
  • you're migrating specs between OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1+

When to avoid

  • you need runtime API testing or mocking rather than spec diffing
  • your API has no machine-readable OpenAPI/Swagger definition
  • you need GraphQL or gRPC contract diffing
