== REST OpenAPI Sink Kamelet Description

=== RESTful API Integration

This Kamelet provides integration with RESTful APIs that are documented using OpenAPI specifications. It enables standardized API communication based on OpenAPI/Swagger definitions.

=== OpenAPI Specification

Uses OpenAPI specifications to understand API endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication requirements, ensuring consistent and documented API interactions.

=== HTTP Operations

Supports various HTTP operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) as defined in the OpenAPI specification, providing comprehensive REST API integration capabilities.

=== Host and Base Path Configuration

The host and base path for the REST service can be configured to override the default values found in the OpenAPI specification. This is useful for production environments where the specification may contain default values like localhost:8080 that need to be replaced with the actual service endpoint.

=== Schema Validation

OpenAPI specifications include schema definitions that can be used for request and response validation, ensuring data integrity and API compliance. Client request validation can be enabled to check if outgoing requests conform to the OpenAPI specification before they are sent.

=== Documentation-Driven Development

Enables documentation-driven API development where the API specification serves as the contract between API providers and consumers.

=== Standards Compliance

Follows REST architectural principles and OpenAPI standards for:

- Consistent API design patterns
- Standardized error handling
- Clear documentation and discoverability
- Interoperability across platforms
