Swagger (No-Man EP)

"Swagger" is a cassette EP and the second release by the then British trio No Man Is An Island, which would later rename and be known simply as No-Man.

The cassette was made for the band to sell at concerts. It was later described by the band themselves as "very much a transitional release, with the band at an uncomfortable position between brash synthpop, abrasive art rock and the lusher atmospheres which would later become a No-Man trademark."

Some promo versions also included "The Girl From Missouri" (the earlier self-titled debut release). "Bleed" was featured in two subsequent versions - one on the 'Sweetheart Raw' EP and one on 'Heaven Taste'.

The song "Flowermouth" has no link with the Flowermouth album besides the title (although parts of the song were recycled for "Lovecry" on their 1993 debut LP Loveblows & Lovecries - A Confession). "Life Is Elsewhere" comes from Tim Bowness' former band Plenty (later renamed Samuel Smiles).

OpenAPI Specification

Swagger is a specification and complete framework implementation for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services.

With 3110 "stars" on GitHub, Swagger calls itself "The World's Most Popular Framework for APIs".

On 1 January 2016 Swagger was renamed the OpenAPI Specification.

Usage

Applications implemented with the Swagger framework contain documentation of methods, parameters and models directly in their source code. This prevents the situation when the documentation, client libraries, and source code get out of sync. The overarching goal of Swagger is to enable client and documentation systems to update at the same pace as the server.

History

Both the specification and framework implementation are initiatives from Wordnik. Swagger was developed for Wordnik's own use during the development of Wordnik Developer and the underlying API. Swagger development began in early 2010.

In November 2015 SmartBear, the company that maintained Swagger, announced that it was creating a new organization, the Open API Initiative, and would be donating the Swagger specification to the new group. On 1 January 2016 the Swagger specification was renamed the OpenAPI Specification, and was moved to a new repository in GitHub.

Swagger (Flogging Molly album)

Swagger is the first album by the Celtic punk band Flogging Molly, mixed by Steve Albini. It was released in 2000.

Reception

In a very positive review, Allmusic called "Swagger" a combination of the "folk of the Pogues with an Oi! blast by way of the Dropkick Murphys." The reviewer went on to call the album "music that's perfect for any barroom brawl." Punknews.org gave the album 5 out of 5 stars and said that "every song is a keeper, without a clunker in the bunch." The album also called "Salty Dog" the "quintessential Flogging Molly song" and noted the album's contrast between aggressive punk-influenced songs and slower ballads like "The Worst Day Since Yesterday."
