JSON/API Document Reference Bundler

api-ref-bundler is a JavaScript/TypeScript utility library designed to resolve and consolidate all external and internal `$ref` references within JSON-based API documents. It supports a wide range of specification formats including JsonSchema, Swagger 2.x, OpenAPI 3.x, AsyncAPI 2.x, and AsyncAPI 3.x. The current stable version is 0.5.1, with recent updates focusing on performance and new specification support, notably AsyncAPI v3.x. Key differentiators include its zero-dependency footprint, browser and Node.js compatibility, explicit handling of circular references, and a resolver-agnostic design, requiring users to provide their own logic for reading and parsing source paths. This approach offers flexibility but also shifts the responsibility for file I/O and deserialization to the developer. It ships with full TypeScript support.
