Generate an OpenAPI Spec from Mock Routes in Python
This Python script generates an OpenAPI 3.0 specification from a simple mock routes dictionary, mapping each HTTP method to response examples.
import json
from pathlib import Path
def generate_openapi_spec(routes: dict, title: str = "Mock API", version: str = "1.0.0") -> dict:
paths = {}
for route, methods in routes.items():
path_item = {}
for method, response_data in methods.items():
method = method.lower()
