Part III Work with the Adapter Definition Document

An adapter definition document is a JSON-formatted document that describes the functional behavior and the implementation for an adapter. You build an adapter by authoring an adapter definition document.

Typically, you generate a draft version of the document using the VS Code extension for Rapid Adapter Builder. The extension can quickly create an adapter definition document from a Postman collection of an application's APIs. It automatically populates various components of the document from the data in the Postman collection as best it can. Thereafter, in the process of building your adapter, you can update this document to add more capabilities to it or to fix issues in it.

The following chapters provide guidelines on how to work with the different sections of an adapter definition document.
