Specific embodiments of the present application have been shown by way of the above drawings and will be described in more detail below. The drawings and the written description are not intended to limit the scope of the inventive concepts in any way, but rather to illustrate the inventive concepts to those skilled in the art by reference to the specific embodiments.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the application as detailed in the accompanying claims.

The feature of the micro-service architecture determines fine granularity division of the service module and a great increase in the number of interfaces, which makes it difficult for the interface information demander to find specific interface information. Especially in enterprise microservice architecture, bring very high communication cost to enterprises: in order to understand the description of the API under a certain micro-service architecture (for example, whether the API is useful or not, how the API is used), the interface information demander needs to find the address of the interface description document under the micro-service architecture and inquire about specific notes, and it is characterized that the service publisher can perform operations such as calling up, testing, publishing online, etc. on the interface after agreeing. In the case of cross-department, cross-team collaboration, specific interface information needs to be found in the microservice architecture, the difficulty of which is conceivable.

Therefore, how to solve the aggregation, processing and decision-making of the information (hereinafter referred to as interface information) at the semantic level of the API to improve the efficiency and convenience of obtaining the interface information in the micro-service architecture is one of the challenges faced by the team collaboration within the enterprise or in a larger range. At present, a typical scene of a micro service architecture is provided with a service registration mechanism and a discovery mechanism, but interface information collection, processing and decision making are not realized yet.

A typical application scenario is analyzed as follows.

One of the typical application scenarios: spring Cloud micro-service architecture. In the micro-service architecture, the forwarding of the interfaces provided by the clusters is realized through an API gateway, and the service discovery inside the clusters is realized through a registry. However, there are several disadvantages in the Spring Cloud micro-service architecture:

1) An API gateway focusing on the realization of the call layers of forwarding, fusing, current limiting and the like of an interface is not suitable for bearing the collection and release of all interface information in a cluster.

2) The registry can enumerate accessible services in the cluster in a list mode, but the registry is only visible to the inside of the cluster, the retrievable services are also only internal services registered in the registry, interface information retrieval cannot be provided to the outside of the cluster under the condition that forwarding routes are not opened, interfaces cannot be grouped according to applications in the registration mode, and corresponding applications cannot be visually checked.

3) The shared interfaces of small-scale micro-service development teams cooperate with tools such as integration showdoc (open-source interface management tool, using Sqlite database, php deployment) to integrate the interface information of individual micro-services. However, on one hand, the integration of the interface information collection plug-in of the micro service has certain requirements, for example, each micro service must integrate swagger (for generating, describing, calling and visualizing the Web service of RESTful style, defining a standard and language independent interface, and the capability of discovering and understanding the service without accessing source codes, documents or network traffic monitoring) to uniformly incorporate and display a collaboration tool, and the method is to invade an application architecture and introduce an architecture design irrelevant to services; on the other hand, the technical stacks, interface description tools and interface management tools of different development teams are different, so that the different teams can inquire the interface information of each other service cluster in a quite different mode, and the cooperation efficiency is affected.

4) For large-scale development teams, without a centralized interface management/release platform, it is difficult to realize quick viewing, centralized searching, etc. of interfaces between various modules or microservices.

Another typical application scenario: istio-based service grid (SERVICE MESH). Wherein istio provides a simple way to build a network for deployed services, the network having load balancing, inter-service authentication, monitoring, etc. functions without requiring any modification of the code of the service; the service grid is responsible for network invocation, current limiting, fusing and monitoring between services, and is analogous to applications without concern for the layer of TCP/IP, and the service grid is used without concern for communication and collaboration between services. In the service grid, each node adopts a side car mode (Sidecar, application design form of single node and multiple containers, and a main container is expanded or enhanced by an additional container, which is called sidecar container), so as to provide services, and traffic (access frequency) between the services flows under the regulation of a control plane.

In istio-based service grids, lower-level application networks such as fuses, timeouts, retries, etc. have SERVICE MESH layers to complete, and this type of interface access is called east-west traffic; calls that logically intersect cluster boundary interface (interface services provided by the clusters outwards) calls and that involve problems with access control lists (Access Control List, ACLs), rate limiting, quota and policy enforcement, etc., are defined by the istio gateway (istio gateway) of the interface management layer, logically appear to flow up and down, and are actually implemented by the SERVICE MESH layer, such interface accesses being referred to as north-south traffic.

In the service grid based on istio, for interface call among services, although the interface call among services shields the underlying process through the service grid, the logical call is based on the premise that a client knows the identity and meaning of the interface and whether the interface meets the service requirement, the obtaining of the information of the identity, meaning and whether the interface meets the service requirement is based on the service logic, and the information needs to be provided for a research and development team to identify and judge, and the interface call among services cannot be simply summarized as east-west traffic or north-south traffic, and may actually be the staggered existence of the east-west traffic and the north-south traffic. Therefore, even in the service network environment built by istio, higher-level semantics (such as documents, user registration/access, lifecycle management, developer interface planning, etc.) of the interface still need to be completed by the interface management platform, and induction and release of interface information still need users to build corresponding logic by themselves, so that higher-level operations of information release, unified retrieval, etc. of the interface semantic level cannot be completed through the interface registration and discovery mechanism.

In summary, under the micro-service architecture, especially under the enterprise-level micro-service architecture, the interface information has the characteristics of multiple elements, isomerism, quick updating, fuzzy application boundary and the like, and the interface information is difficult to retrieve and utilize in each service, which contrasts with an automatic service discovery mechanism on the cloud, so that the interface information provider and the interface information demarcate party are disjointed, and further, the communication cost of cross-team and cross-department collaboration is higher. The collection and subsequent processing of the interface information on the interface management level become one of the keys of micro-service management, and the interface information is well processed and released, so that the efficient operation of team cooperation based on the interface is facilitated.

In order to achieve good management and subsequent processing of the interface information of the micro service and improve the acquisition efficiency and convenience of the interface information of the micro service, the embodiment of the application provides an interface information management method applied to an interface information management platform. In the method, the interface information management platform can flexibly configure the interface requirements, collect the interface information of one or more interface information providers according to the interface requirements, and provide the interface information to the interface information demander, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of interface information acquisition.

In addition, the interface information management platform in the embodiment of the application has the following advantages: 1) The interface management platform can be used as a middleware, so that the problem of coupling with a specific interface management platform is eliminated, and the interface management platform is convenient to reuse; 2) The independent deployment is supported, the configuration can be used for collecting and analyzing interface information in a production environment, the configuration can be released in a development test environment and an Internet environment, and web services can be configured to become an interface information retrieval platform for large-scale collaborative development; 3) And the maintenance and the updating are convenient.

The interface information management method provided by the application can be applied to the application scene shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the application scenario includes an interface information management platform 101, an interface information provider 102, and an interface information demander 103, and the interface information management platform 101 communicates with the interface information provider 102 and the interface information demander 103, respectively. The interface information provider 102 and the interface information demander 103 are external systems with respect to the interface information management platform 101.

The interface information provider 102 may be a service that provides interface access information online to the interface information management platform 101 or a system that provides offline interface descriptions, and in particular, the interface information provider 102 may be a system of a micro-service architecture. In fig. 1, the interface information provider 102 is exemplified as a cloud service and a server. The interface information management platform 101 may actively acquire interface information of the interface information provider 102, and the interface information provider 102 may also actively send the interface information to the interface information management platform 101.

The interface information demand side 103 is an interface information output object entering the interface information management platform 101, the interface information demand side 103 may request to the interface information management platform 103 to obtain the interface information, and after receiving the interface information output by the interface information management platform 101, the interface information demand side 103 may perform subsequent processing on the interface information. The interface information demander 103 may be a server, a database, etc., where fig. 1 is an example of a terminal, a server.

Optionally, the application scenario further includes a system administrator 104, where the system administrator 104 may perform information configuration, viewing, monitoring, and/or statistics on the interface information management platform 101.

The following describes the technical scheme of the present application and how the technical scheme of the present application solves the above technical problems in detail with specific embodiments. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of an interface information management method according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to an interface information management platform. As shown in fig. 2, the interface information management method includes:

s201, after receiving interface requirements input by a user through an interface information management interface, acquiring interface information from at least one interface information provider according to the interface information receiving requirements.

The interface requirements comprise interface information receiving requirements, interface information processing requirements and interface information output modes. The interface information receiving requirement is a requirement of a user for the interface information management platform to acquire the interface information from the interface information provider, and may include a requirement of the interface information provider, a requirement of the interface, and/or a requirement of a mode of acquiring the interface information. The interface information processing requirement is a requirement that a user processes the interface information by the interface information management platform, and the user can configure the interface information processing requirement according to the service requirement. The output mode of the interface information is the requirement of the user on the output interface information of the interface information management platform, and the requirement on the output object, the requirement on the output format and the like can be included. The user can be the manager of the interface information management platform, the interface information demander or the interface information consumer.

Specifically, the user may input the interface requirement at the interface information management interface of the interface information management platform, for example, input the interface requirement at the interface information management interface by means of checking, text input, and the like. After receiving an interface requirement input by a user through an interface information management interface, acquiring an interface information receiving requirement from the interface requirement, and acquiring the interface information from at least one interface information provider according to the interface information receiving requirement, so that the acquisition of the interface information meets the user requirement.

Alternatively, the interface information management interface may be a World Wide Web (Web) interface. Further, the interface information management interface is a Web interface implemented by using HTML5 (a language description mode for constructing Web content).

S202, according to interface information processing requirements, interface information is processed correspondingly.

Specifically, the interface information processing requirements are obtained from the interface requirements, and the interface information is correspondingly processed according to the interface information processing requirements. Considering that the data format of interface information from different interface information providers may be different, for example, some interface information providers may have an interface information format of extensible markup language (Extensible Markup Language, XML) and some interface information providers may have an interface information format of hypertext markup language (Hyper Text Markup Language, HTML), so that in the corresponding processing of interface information, the interface information may be converted into a target data format. Therefore, aiming at the received interface information with different formats, the management effect of the interface information is improved by converting the format into a uniform data format.

Optionally, the target data format is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, JS object numbered musical notation), which is a lightweight data exchange format, is a text format independent of programming language, and can be used for storing and expressing data. Therefore, by uniformly converting interface information from different data interface providers into the JSON format, the management effect of the interface information is improved by utilizing the characteristics of JSON.

S203, the processed interface information is sent to the interface information demand side according to the interface information output mode.

Specifically, the interface information output mode is obtained from the interface requirements, and the interface information processed according to the interface information processing requirements is processed and output according to the interface output mode, so that the output interface information accords with the interface output mode in the interface requirements and accords with the user requirements.

In the embodiment of the application, in the interface information management interface of the interface information management platform, a user can set an interface information receiving requirement, an interface information processing requirement and an interface information output mode by configuring an interface requirement mode, and the interface information management platform collects interface information of at least one interface information provider according to the requirements, converts the interface information with possibly different data formats into a unified target data format and provides the interface information conforming to the interface information output mode for the interface information requirement party. Therefore, the user can acquire the interface information meeting the requirements from different systems by configuring the flexible and independent interface information management platform and by means of the interface information management platform, and the acquisition efficiency and convenience of the interface information are improved.

Subsequently, the reception, processing, and output of the interface information are described separately.

(One) regarding an interface information receiving process:

In some embodiments, the interface information receiving requirements include a data source selection range of the interface information, an access mode of the interface information, an interface type of an interface to which the interface information belongs, a data format of the interface information, and a parsing mode of the interface information. Therefore, on the interface information management platform, various interface information receiving requirements can be configured, the flexibility and the comprehensiveness of the configuration of the interface information receiving requirements are improved, and interface information which is more fit with the requirements and is more accurate is provided for the interface information requiring party.

Based on the interface information receiving requirement, including the data source selection range of the interface information, the access mode of the interface information, the interface type of the interface to which the interface information belongs, the data format of the interface information and the analysis mode of the interface information, one possible implementation mode of S201 includes: determining at least one interface information provider from a data source selection range; according to the access mode, the interface type and the data format in the interface information receiving requirement, obtaining the interface information provided by at least one interface information provider; and according to the data format and the analysis requirement in the interface information receiving requirement, analyzing the acquired interface information to obtain the interface information after the analysis. Therefore, the interface information management platform acquires the interface information of the designated interface information provider, the designated interface type and the designated data format according to the designated access mode.

The data source selection range of the interface information may include system information of an interface information provider, such as system information of a micro service architecture. The system information of the interface information provider may include one or more of the following: an access address (e.g., web address, IP address) of the interface information provider, an access port of the interface information provider, and an interaction protocol of the interface information provider. The access mode of the interface information may include an online access mode and/or an offline access mode. The interface type of the interface information refers to the type of the interface to which the interface information belongs, such as an instant messaging type and a file transmission type. The data format of the interface information is the original data format of the interface information from the interface information provider, e.g. XML, HTML. The interface information analysis mode comprises an analysis tool, analysis parameters of the analysis tool and target parameters of the analysis tool, and the interface information of different interface information providers can be acquired and analyzed through different analysis tools, so that the interface information management platform is supported to be capable of interfacing with different interface information providers.

Specifically, the interface information management platform determines at least one interface information provider, that is, determines from which interface information providers interface information needs to be acquired, according to the system information of the interface information providers in the data source selection range. If the access mode of the interface information in the interface information request is an online access mode, the interface information of the interface information provider can be obtained online (for example, online access is realized through an online http interface and an online webservice interface), and if the access mode of the interface information is an offline mode, a specific offline mode, for example, offline file uploading, can be determined according to the offline file analysis configuration. And then, according to the access mode, acquiring the interface information of which the belonging interface accords with the interface type in the interface information receiving requirement and the data type accords with the data type in the interface information receiving requirement.

After the interface information is obtained, the data formats of the interface information of different interface information providers may be different, so that the obtained interface information can be analyzed through a corresponding analysis tool and analysis parameters of the analysis tool, and target parameters required by a user can be obtained from the obtained interface information. For example, attribute information related to an interface to which the interface information belongs, such as an ID, a name, a type, an access constraint (private, limited, or public), a performance parameter (concurrency, maximum access permission), an availability flag (whether the interface is available), and the like, are analyzed from the interface information. The user can select the analysis tool according to the service requirement of the user, and configure the analysis parameters and analysis target parameters of the analysis tool.

Alternatively, the parsing tool may employ a third party component, so that in the process of obtaining the received information, different third party components may be invoked to parse the interface information of different interface information providers.

Optionally, after receiving the interface information acquisition task triggered by the user, acquiring interface information from at least one interface information provider; or the acquisition of the interface information can be set as a timing task, and the interface information is acquired from at least one interface information provider when the current time is detected as the task execution time.

(II) information processing procedure concerning interface

In some embodiments, the interface information processing requirements include a data processing range and a first processing parameter. Wherein the data processing range is a processed interface information range, and processing of all or a specified part of the data of the interface information acquired from the interface information provider can be instructed by configuring the data processing range. The first processing parameter includes a target data format, and the interface information may be instructed to be converted from the original data format to the target data format by configuring the first processing parameter. Therefore, on the interface information management platform, the interface information in the appointed range can be subjected to appointed processing operation by configuring the data processing range and the first processing parameter, and flexible and comprehensive interface information processing can be provided for the interface information demander. Further, batch processing of interface information can also be realized by specifying a data processing range.

Based on the interface processing requirements including the data processing range and the first processing parameter, one possible implementation of S202 includes: determining interface information to be processed in the interface information according to the data processing range; and converting the format of the interface information to be processed into a target data format according to the first processing parameters. Therefore, in the processing process of the interface information, the interface information (especially the interface information of different sources) in the appointed range is converted into a unified target data format, so that the management effect of the interface information is improved.

Optionally, an interface identifier may be included in the data processing scope. And acquiring interface information of an interface corresponding to the interface identifier in the data processing range from the interface information, and determining the acquired interface information as the interface information to be processed. For example, in the receiving stage of the interface information, the interface information of the interfaces a1, a2, a3, and a4 is obtained, and if the data processing range includes the interfaces a1 and a3, the interface information of the interfaces a1 and a3 is the interface information to be processed.

When the format of the interface information to be processed is converted into the target data format according to the first processing parameter, for example, the target data format is JSON, the format of the interface information to be processed is converted into JSON.

In some embodiments, the interface information processing requirements include a first processing component requirement in addition to the data processing range, the first processing parameter. Wherein the first processing component is required to instruct a third party component employed in the interface information processing stage. At this time, according to the interface information processing requirement, the process of performing corresponding processing on the interface information further includes: and processing the interface information to be processed by a third party component conforming to the requirements of the first processing component. Therefore, the third party component for processing the interface information can be selected according to actual requirements, the processing effect of the interface information is improved, and especially, different third party components can be called for aiming at the interface information of different interface information providers, so that different interface information can be converted into the same data format, and the interface information management platform can process the interface information of different interface information providers.

In some embodiments, the interface information processing requirements include a data processing trigger condition in addition to the data processing range, the first processing parameter, the first processing component requirement. When the data processing triggering condition is triggered, determining interface information to be processed in the interface information according to the data processing range, and processing the interface information to be processed. Thus, the user can configure the data trigger condition at the interface information management platform, and specify that the processing of the interface information is performed when the data trigger condition is satisfied.

Optionally, the data triggering condition includes a data processing frequency, and processing the interface information according to the data processing frequency. For example, the interface information processing is performed once every minute.

In some embodiments, after converting the format of the interface information to the target data format, the processing of the interface information further includes: and storing the interface information converted into the target data format into a database to realize the persistence of the interface information. When the user requests the interface information again, it can check if the interface information requested by the user exists in the database, and if so, the interface information is obtained from the database.

Optionally, the interface information processing requirement further includes whether to persist the interface information. If the interface information is configured to be durable in the interface information processing requirement, after the format of the interface information is converted into the target data format, the interface information in the target data format is stored in the database, otherwise, the interface information in the target data format is not required to be stored. Therefore, the user can configure whether to persistence the interface information according to the own requirements, and the flexibility and the comprehensiveness of the configuration of the interface information management platform are improved.

(III) information output procedure concerning interface

In some embodiments, the interface information output manner includes a data output range, a second processing parameter, and an output object. The data output range is an interface information set, the interface information set comprises interface information to be output, the second processing parameter is a parameter adopted for processing the interface information to be output, and the output object is a receiving object of the interface information to be output. Therefore, the interface information management platform can be configured with the output data range, the processing mode and the output object of the interface information, so that the interface information can be configured in multiple aspects, and the interface information requiring party can obtain the interface information required by the interface information requiring party.
