Namespace

You can logically group of schemas by creating a single endpoint using this resource. Namespace has the following properties:

• id : unique identifier of the namespace
• name : name of the namespace
• description : description of the namespace
• prefix : prefix for the namespace
• parent : parent namespace
• version : a version of the namespace
• metadata : arbitrary metadata

Example namespace

  namespaces:
  - description: Neutron API
    id: neutron
    name: Neutron
    prefix: neutron
  - description: Version 2.0 of Neutron API
    id: neutron_v2
    metadata:
      key: value
    name: Neutron 2.0
    parent: neutron
    prefix: v2.0
    version: "2.0"

The full prefix of a namespace is a concatenation of prefixes of all its ancestors. Any schema specifying a namespace will have such prefix prepended to URLs specific to that schema.

Example: If a schema specifies that its namespace is neutron_v2 from the previous example, a prefix of /neutron/v2.0/ will be prepended to its prefix.

For a top-level namespace ("neutron" from the example above) a root URL is mapped (../neutron/) that lists all child namespaces. For namespaces that have a parent specified ("neutron_v2" from the example above), an access URL is mapped using prefixes from ancestors and its prefix (../neutron/v2.0) that lists all schemas are belonging to the namespace.
