Code Generators
The following is a list of tools that generate code from an AsyncAPI document; not the other way around.
| Link | Description | Language/Framework |

| Node-RED AsyncAPI plugin | Use your AsyncAPI definition to generate and configure Node-RED nodes. | Node-RED |
The language you're looking for is not here? You created a new code generator and want to list it here? Let us know!
Converters
The following is a list of tools that do not yet belong to any specific category but are also useful for the community.
| Link | Description | Language/Framework |
|---|---|---|
| Converter | Converts old versions of AsyncAPI files into the latest version. | Javascript |

Directories
The following is a list of directories that index public AsyncAPI documents.
| Link | Description | Language/Framework |
|---|---|---|
| AsyncAPI-Directory by APIs.guru | Directory of asynchronous API specifications in AsyncAPI format. Thanks to @PermittedSoc. | N/A |
| API Tracker - AsyncAPI specs | Explore APIs and companies with public AsyncAPI specifications. | N/A |
Documentation Generators
The following is a list of tools that generate human-readable documentation from an AsyncAPI document.
| Link | Description | Language/Kind |
|---|---|---|
| AsyncAPI Generator | Use your AsyncAPI definition to generate literally anything. Markdown documentation, Node.js code, HTML documentation, anything! Click here to get a list of the existing templates. | CLI / Javascript |

| Cupid | A library that focuses on finding and analyzing the relationships between AsyncAPI documents. It outputs a map of the system architecture. | Javascript |
DSL
Writing YAML by hand is no fun, and maybe you don't want a GUI, so use a Domain Specific Language to write AsyncAPI in your language of choice.
| Link | Description | Language/Kind |
|---|---|---|
| BOATS | Compile your single AsyncAPI file from multiple YAML files with BOATS and with the help of the template engine Nunjucks, plus a many extra helpers to automate much of the donkey work. The AsyncAPI Parser is used to validate the output. | CLI / JavaScript |
Frameworks
The following is a list of API/application frameworks that make use of AsyncAPI.
| Link | Description | Language/Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Asynction | SocketIO server framework driven by the AsyncAPI specification. Asynction guarantees that your API will work in accordance with its AsyncAPI documentation. Built on top of Flask-SocketIO. | Python |
GitHub Actions
The following is a list of GitHub Actions that you can use in your workflows:
| Link | Description |
|---|---|
| AsyncAPI Github Action | This action validates if the AsyncAPI schema file is valid or not. |
| Generator for AsyncAPI documents | This action generates whatever you want using your AsyncAPI document. It uses AsyncAPI Generator. |
| API documentation on Bump | With this Github Action you can automatically generate your API reference (with the changelog and diff) on Bump from any AsyncAPI file. |
Mocking and Testing
The tools below take specification documents as input, then publish fake messages to broker destinations for simulation purposes. They may also check that publisher messages are compliant with schemas.
| Link | Description | Language/Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Microcks | Mocking and testing platform for API and microservices. Turn your AsyncAPI, OpenAPI contract examples, or Postman collections into ready-to-use mocks. Use examples to simulate and validate received messages according to schema elements. | Kubernetes-native, Self-hosted / SaaS, Open Source |
| Virtualan | Mocking and testing platform for API and microservices. Allows you to create and setup mocks for OpenAPI and AsyncAPI contracts. Shows how to setup and create AsyncAPI GitHub Reference Examples and OpenAPI GitHub Reference Examples. | Kubernetes-native, Self-hosted / SaaS, Open Source |
