The Presentation Exchange OpenAPI (PEX-OpenAPI) is an OpenAPI specification based upon the DIF Presentation Exchange v2.0.0 and DIF Presentation Exchange v1.0.0 specifications.
A standardised Presentation Exchange is crucial for interoperability between different systems that are used by verifiers and holders (e.g. wallets). It enables the verifiers- and holder-systems to interpret models used by each other consistently. The PEX-OpenAPI specification and Models Generator will allow for use-cases with the need to implement a Presentation Exchange, possibly using different programming languages.
The PEX-OpenAPI specification is a collection of OpenAPI 3 specification YAML files. It can be used by third parties to generate the models and SDKs for their own desired framework and programming language. The specification is used to create the Typescript models as described below.
The PEX-OpenAPI specification is used to generate the models and SDKs for Sphereon's PEX library
The PEX-OpenAPI Models Generator is a pre-configured component for generating the models from the PEX-OpenAPI specification YAML files. Developers who intend to integrate the DIF Presentation Exchange specification in their TypeScript/JavaScript project can either extend this project, or follow the [guide] (Coming soon) to make it part of their code-bases.
The PEX-Models Typescript library is a pre-generated and published library, ready to be used in typescript/javascript projects that can directly be used from a package manager using npmjs.com. This library can be used in any JavaScript project, providing a consistent structure of the models required in presentation exchange between verifiers and holders of verifiable credentials.
Additionally, the PEX-Models library can be used to create libraries for verification of presentation definition and submission objects themselves. In this fashion, the PEX-Models library is used in Sphereon's PEX library to validate the model objects.
The generation is a Java and maven based project. To set it up locally for development, run following commands.
cd '<workspace>'
git clone [email protected]:Sphereon-Opensource/pex-openapi.git
cd pex-openapi
Please check if you are on the right branch. The steps you are following should be from the same branch (e.g. in a browser) as in your cloned git repo.
To list all the branches in a local machine and also highlight the checked-out branch use the following command.
git branch
To switch the branch use the following command.
git checkout <branch-name>
