We're thrilled to unveil our latest Xapi platform update, bringing a more intuitive API design experience, tooling enhancements, and a smarter way to govern externally designed APIs. These new capabilities make API design and governance more accessible, more powerful, and more flexible than ever before.

A New Way to Design: Graphical Editor with Form View

Say hello to a smoother, more beginner-friendly way of designing your APIs.
Our graphical editor now includes a fully integrated Form View, allowing users to switch between traditional code editing and a structured, guided form interface. Whether you’re a first-time designer or a seasoned API architect, the new form-driven design mode helps reduce friction, minimize syntax errors, and speed up API creation.

No more manual YAML/JSON edits
Visual clarity with structured inputs
Seamless switching between editor views

Tooling Enhancements for a Better Experience

We've also made significant improvements to the existing tool to make your workflows faster and more reliable. Highlights include:

Performance boosts across the editor and rendering views
Improved UI consistency for better usability
Refined error handling to surface feedback where you need it
Enhanced rendering logic for complex specifications

Your day-to-day tooling just got a whole lot more efficient.

Governing External APIs Made Easy

Managing APIs not authored within your organization? No problem. Our new External API Governance capabilities allow you to:

Add and track externally designed APIs through abstract links
Manage API lifecycle actions like status changes, suspension, or deletion
Clearly distinguish external APIs across views, while keeping them available in global search

This means your platform users can now enforce governance standards on all APIs—regardless of where they were designed.

What's Next?

We're continuously working on evolving Xapi to help you govern, design, and collaborate more effectively. Stay tuned for even more exciting features in the pipeline.
Until then, try out the new features and let us know what you think. Your feedback fuels our progress!
