Richard van der Hoff 49cd65dd58 Add a license to the spec
We're licensing hte spec under ASLv2. Add the LICENSE file, and add the
short-form to as much of the source as is practical right now (adding it to
json source is a massive pita).

Generating the HTML for the specification

Requirements:

  • docutils (for converting RST to HTML)
  • Jinja2 (for templating)
  • PyYAML (for reading YAML files)

To generate the complete specification along with supporting documentation, run: python gendoc.py

The output of this will be inside the "scripts/gen" folder.

Matrix.org only ("gen" folder has matrix.org tweaked pages): ./matrix-org-gendoc.sh /path/to/matrix.org/includes/nav.html

Generating the Swagger documentation

Swagger[1] is a framework for representing RESTful APIs. We use it to generate interactive documentation for our APIs.

Swagger UI reads a JSON description of the API. To generate this file from the YAML files in the api folder, run: ./dump-swagger.py

By default, dump-swagger will write to scripts/swagger/api-docs.json.

To make use of the generated file, there are a number of options:
