Apiman Installation Guide

This guide provides detailed information about how to install and configure apiman.

Switching formats

{{ start }} {% method %}

On some pages different configuration instructions and examples are available for each platform. You can switch between the platforms by clicking the tabs at the top right of the page.

For example, on this page you can select Vert.x or Servlet, and will see different text in the example block.

{% sample lang="Vert.x" %} Your configuration file for Vert.x is conf.json!

{% sample lang="Servlet" %} Your configuration file for Servlet is apiman.properties!

{% endmethod %} {{ end }}
