Talend extensions and annotations
Export your API with Talend extensions or annotations to keep the expressivity provided by Talend Cloud API Designer.
When exporting an API, you can choose to include Talend extensions for OpenAPI Specification, or Talend annotations for RAML. These allow you to keep the structure of your API as defined in Talend Cloud API Designer.
For example, in the Contacts API, resources and operations are sorted into sections, and text blocks are used to add information.
If you export this definition without Talend extensions or annotations, sections and text blocks are not exported. However, with the extensions or annotations, they are included in the code.
The section information is added to any element contained in a section:
