Ok, so now ModelRestApi generates automatic OpenAPI specs from the CRUD 
endpoint, and made
the spec accessible on /api/<version>/_openapi. This endpoint is protected, but 
will allow browser session cookies also (besides JWT).

BaseApi generates spec from YAML method docs. And offers 400-500 already 
bundled spec responses for easy referencing ($ref: ) and Rison jsonschema 
integration and self registering on /components/parameters

I'm not bundling a swagger-ui also. Maybe this could be useful for dev.
