SHIM — Adaptive API Compatibility Guard

A real-time developer guard that sits between your application and external APIs to intercept breaking JSON schema changes, infer field replacements using subword vector embeddings, and transparently auto-bridge payloads without code crashes.

Features

• Status Bar Health: Real-time indicator displaying gateway status directly in VS Code.
• Breaking Drift Interception: Detects renamed, added, or removed JSON fields on upstream REST responses.
• One-Click Schema Bridge: Approve proposed field mappings directly or via the web platform.
• Universal API Support: Protects user profiles, payments, shipping, logistics, or custom microservices.

Getting Started

1. Start your local SHIM Gateway (or connect to a cloud deployment):

   python backend/proxy.py
   

2. In VS Code Settings (Ctrl+,), search for SHIM:
   • shim.gatewayUrl: defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8000
   • shim.apiKey: your project API key
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and type SHIM: Scan Connected APIs for Schema Drift to verify your setup.
