Notes
- The requestBody property of the path post operation only has one content-type of application/json, and its schema always references the RPC input message.
- Comments can be added above an RPC, message, or field resources. Inline comments are not supported.
- Path items only have one response with a 200 code using the schema of the message returned by the RPC method.

Why
This project is a rewrite of the twirp-swagger-gen tool adding support to the latest OpenAPI v3 spec
Even though there are other ways of generating documentation for proto files, eg; protoc-gen-doc, gnostic, buf modules, etc. Neither provides an out-of the box solution to have interactive Twirp API docs.
There is already a rich ecosystem of tools for visualizing and interacting with OpenAPI V3 spec documents. The twirp-openapi-gen tool leverages that and generates valid JSON/YAML OpenAPI V3 documents from the proto definitions.
The API docs can be imported to any tool that has support for OpenAPI V3, eg; Postman, Swagger, Stoplight, etc..
