Great project! These features come to mind that would be great additions:

1. Ability to filter response properties.

2. Ability to work with non-JSON (web scraping) by defining a mapping of CSS selectors to response properties.

3. Cross-reference host names of captured requests with publicly documented APIs.

4. If auth headers are found, prompt user for credentials that can then be stored locally.

5. "Repeater" similarly found in Burp Suite.

6. Generate clients on the fly based on the generated OpenAPI spec.

- Allow using it as a library instead of just a browser extension which would in turn allow:

- Integration with some kind of web crawler to allow automatically walking a web site and extract a database of specifications

Edit: Hmm, it seems that genson-js[1] was used to merge schemas.

Genson-js is used to merge JSON Schema objects. Essentially there are 5 schemas that we care about in each request - request bodies, request headers, response bodies, response headers, and query parameters. Each endpoint (which may or may not be parameterised) has only one schema for each of these values.

The idea for a crawler is a good one. The core logic that handles spec generation is decoupled from everything else, so it can be extracted into its own library.

But there are approaches that exist for this already, such as har-to-openapi.

Interesting! Thanks! Awesome project :)

7. Train a machine learning model to recognize and extract tabular and repeated data based on training data.

8. Optionally publish generated OpenAPI specs to a central site or open PR to a GH repo, "awesome-openapi-devtools"?

Some great ideas here, thank you. I do want to keep it small and focused so I'll forego complex functionality like the Repeater, but you've raised some common pain points I'll tackle.
