Ivan Goncharov

API consultant/Co-Founder at APIs.guru (Lviv, Ukraine)

My main area of interest is API definition languages and in particular OpenAPI/Swagger specification.
I'm maintaining a collection of OpenAPI specs for real-life APIs (230+ APIs at the moment).

APIs.guru's goal is to supply quality API specs to allow automatic integration into different tools/clients. Check other projects on my GitHub profile.

Proposed Talks

JSON Schema WAT

• Type: StackDay
• Level: Intermediate
• Description: I work with JSON Schema almost every day, so I've already accepted all its strange quirks. But quite often (GitHub, forums, clients) I see the same mistakes and misunderstanding. I'd like to show all these quirks in the form of funny WAT talk.
  As a bonus, I'd like to discuss the alternative format I'm currently working on.

From API directory to SemanticWeb

• Type: Feature Talk
• Level: Intermediate
• Description: When it comes to SemanticWeb we see the forest for the trees by only associating it with academia-developed standards like RDF, OWL, etc. But today more and more companies are using API specifications(OpenAPI/Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint, ...) as they provide benefits on their own: API consoles, generating Docs & SDKs, testing. Can we use these API specification to build SemanticWeb? As the first step, I working on APIs.guru directory of OpenAPI spec and I want to share my vision how we can use it to build The Next Web.
