OpenAPI Documentation

• Swagger UI: http://localhost:8080/swagger/
• OpenAPI Spec: http://localhost:8080/swagger/doc.json

The API provides interactive documentation using Swagger UI with complete OpenAPI 2.0 specification. All endpoints, request/response models, and validation rules are documented using a hierarchical tagging system.

Features:

• Interactive API exploration with hierarchical organization
• Try-it-out functionality for all endpoints
• Model schemas with examples
• Response examples with validation rules
• Hierarchical tag structure for better navigation

Generation: Documentation is auto-generated from code annotations using swaggo/swag with the command:

go generate ./pkg/server/

Tag Organization:

• API/v1/Greeting — Version 1 greeting endpoints
• API/v2/Greeting — Version 2 greeting endpoints
• System/Health — Health and readiness endpoints

Hierarchical Benefits:

• Clear separation between API domains (API vs System)
• Version organization within each domain
• Natural hierarchy in Swagger UI
• Scalable for future API growth

Embedded Documentation: The OpenAPI spec is embedded in the binary using Go's //go:embed directive for single-binary deployment.
