# Pavel on AsyncAPI

> AsyncAPI tools and reference by Pavel Bodiachevskii, AsyncAPI Technical Steering Committee member and maintainer: a JetBrains IDE plugin that writes, validates and generates AsyncAPI from Spring Messaging code; Kurkik, which compares live Kafka, Pulsar, SNS and SQS systems with an AsyncAPI document; the open-source JAsyncAPI library; plain-language docs for every AsyncAPI protocol binding and schema; and a JSON Schema registry for validation.

**Tools**

- [AsyncAPI plugin for JetBrains IDEs](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/jetbrains-plugin/): a free AsyncAPI editor (validate, complete, preview 2.0.0 to 3.1.0) for IntelliJ IDEA and every JetBrains IDE. Pro generates AsyncAPI from Spring code (Kafka, Pulsar, SQS, SNS, JMS) or a live Kafka, Pulsar, SNS or SQS system, detects drift, and adds MCP tools for AI agents. Full list: https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/jetbrains-plugin/features.html
- [Kurkik](https://kurkik.pavelon.dev): Early Access. Documents live Kafka, Pulsar, SNS and SQS systems as AsyncAPI 3.0 and detects drift.
- [JAsyncAPI](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/jasyncapi/): free Apache-2.0 JVM library for AsyncAPI documents.
- [AsyncAPI Language Server](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/language-server.html): in development, for VS Code, Zed and Sublime Text.

**Reference**

- [AsyncAPI bindings](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/bindings/): 20 brokers, every binding version, with examples.
- [AsyncAPI schemas](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/schemas/): Schema Object, multi-format schemas (Avro, Protobuf, JSON Schema) and security schemes.
- [AsyncAPI JSON Schema Registry: how to use it](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/schemas/registry.html)
- [JSON Schema in AsyncAPI](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/schemas/formats/json-schema.html): payloads, examples, maps, conditional fields, $ref
- [Avro schemas in AsyncAPI](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/schemas/formats/avro.html): schemaFormat, .avsc references, Kafka schema registry
- [Protobuf schemas in AsyncAPI](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/schemas/formats/protobuf.html): .proto payloads and parser support
- [AsyncAPI security schemes](https://asyncapi.pavelon.dev/schemas/v3/security/securitySchema.html): every scheme type with AsyncAPI 3.0 and 2.6 examples

**JSON Schema registry (for validation and generation)**

Machine-readable AsyncAPI JSON Schemas (draft-07), served as application/schema+json with open CORS. Use these URLs to learn the structure of the specification, to generate documents and to validate them.

- AsyncAPI 3.0.0 document: https://schemas.asyncapi.pavelon.dev/draft-07/schemas/v3.0.0/asyncapi
- AsyncAPI 3.1.0 document: https://schemas.asyncapi.pavelon.dev/draft-07/schemas/v3.1.0/asyncapi
- Binding for one broker and version, e.g. Kafka 0.5.0 channel: https://schemas.asyncapi.pavelon.dev/draft-07/bindings/apache-kafka/0.5.0/channel
- Browse everything: https://schemas.asyncapi.pavelon.dev

Every docs page is also available as Markdown: replace `.html` with `.md` (for `dir/` pages, use `dir/index.md`).
