OpenAPI not Swagger since 2016

[philsturgeon]

Fixes #58

This was discussed as a v1.0 feature but v1.0 has sailed, so im sending this PR to help get it done for v2.0.

Swagger is a) trademark of SmartBear, b) used almost exclusively by old crap unmaintained projects which do not support OpenAPI v3.0.

Your project is neither, but its gonna get confused for the latter because of the name. Please update to call it OpenAPI.

Any objection to @kibertoad suggestion in the issue, to change the name to openapi-validation?

[philsturgeon]

openapi-validator works but it is a liiiitle bit vague. Validation can be "data validation" or "schema validation" and it's not clear which you are talking about. The node- prefix I added kinda hints towards server-side so that leads folks to thinking about data validation, but maybe openapi-request-validator would be cool, or openapi-validation-middleware

It just needs to be something that hints at what it's doing.

[philsturgeon]

Here is your PHP counterpart https://github.com/hkarlstrom/openapi-validation-middleware for inspiration.

[kibertoad]

@philsturgeon There is existing library with that name, unfortunately: https://www.npmjs.com/package/openapi-request-validator

We could use openapi-request-ajv-validator, to preserve a bit of original brand, I guess.

[philsturgeon]

Whatever you like! :)

[philsturgeon]

The main differentiation between this one and the linked project is that this is a middleware.

openapi-validation-middleware

or something. They also have express-openapi and koa-openapi, so maybe some convergence could happen. We have a lot of similar tools floating around and everyone is working hard on solving the same problems is only ever so slightly different ways.

I guess we can finally close this one @philsturgeon
