   > Have you thought about/considered something like https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-open-api (just an example, but there are other libs available as well), which allows you to add OpenAPI annotations directly to your Java code, so that the OpenAPI spec+docs and the code are all at one place? In combination with JAX-RS annotations, everything that defines a REST endpoint would be combined at a single place and can be easier consumed/reasoned about by developers, rather than having the Swagger definitions and the endpoint implementations across multiple files. The `swagger.json|yaml` is then generated from the annotations, which we could then serve by a separate REST endpoint (it would basically show what you see when you upload the `swagger.yaml` to editor.swagger.io).
   
   I implemented some of these in a separate project (where I added Spring, as I couldn't figure out how to generate the OpenAPI doc from the eclipse microapi annotations - though they're essentially the same).
   
   It might make more sense to add it in a second pass when there's a bit more implemented. Presently it didn't feel like it provided a ton of value (and I'd need to figure out how to get it into the Iceberg build setup, as I used a separate project eventually so I could use Spring), though I can see how it could in the longer term.
