+# OpenAPI
+
+This section explores the overall architecture and main components of the OpenAPI package.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The package is organized into two main domains:
+
+### The Route Collection
+
+This domain provides objects that extract different sets of routes from a Strapi application.
+
+You can find related files in `src/routes`.
+
+:::info
+This domain could potentially be moved to the Strapi core or Strapi utils in the future since it doesn't have any direct dependencies on OpenAPI itself.
+:::
+
+### The OpenAPI Document Generation
+
+This domain contains all the components necessary to generate a valid OpenAPI document from a Strapi application:
+
+| Component         | Path                                       |
+| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| OpenAPI Generator | `src/generator`                            |
+| Assemblers        | `src/assemblers`                           |
+| Contexts          | `src/context`                              |
+| Registries        | `src/registries`                           |
+| Processors        | `src/pre-processor`, `src/post-processors` |
+
+---
+
+Additionally, the package centralizes all exports for the public API in an `src/exports.ts` file.
+
+This approach decouples the package root exports from the public programmatic API it exposes.
+
+## Design Pattern
+
+The package follows Object-Oriented Design principles and patterns to ensure code that's both maintainable and extensible:
+
+- **SOLID Principles**: Adheres to single responsibility, open/closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, and
+  dependency inversion principles
+- **Dependency Injection**: Components receive dependencies through their constructors rather than creating them
+  internally
+- **Factory Pattern**: Used to instantiate complex objects with configurable behaviors
+- **Registry Pattern**: Maintains global state and configuration in a controlled manner (see Registries and Context)
+
+The architecture emphasizes:
+
+- Atomic components with single responsibilities, particularly for the assembly process (see Assemblers)
+- Clear separation of concerns (orchestrator, routes collection, assembler, lifecycle, etc.)
+- Extensible design that enables adding new capabilities without modifying existing code (see Assembler, Processors)
+
+This results in a modular system where each component focuses on a specific task while maintaining clear boundaries with
+other parts of the system.
+
+## Components
+
+### Route Collector
+
+Orchestrates the route collection process based on provided providers and matchers:
+
+- **Providers**
+  - Collect sets of routes for specific purposes (Admin, Core API, plugins, etc.)
+- **Matchers**
+  - Filter route collections based on rules
+- **Rules**
+  - Match (or exclude) a single route based on specific criteria

+    string source
+  }
+
+  Route {
+    object info
+    string path
+    string method
+    string handler
+  }
+
+  Matcher {
+    array rules
+    function match
+  }
+
+  Rule {
+    function match
+  }
+
+  RouteCollector {
+    array providers
+    array matchers
+    function collect
+  }
+```
+
+### OpenAPI Generator
+
+Generates valid OpenAPI documents from a Strapi application:
+
+- **Processors**
+
+  - Lifecycle objects and methods
+  - **Pre-processors**: Prepare data and registries before assembly
+  - **Post-processors**: Clean up and finalize the output after assembly
+
+- **Assemblers**
+
+  - Generate specific parts of the final document
+  - Each has a single responsibility
+  - **Sub-Assemblers**
+    - Specialized assemblers for nested components (operations, etc.)
+    - Are provided with custom contexts
+
+- **Context**
+  - Holds information and instances for assembly processes
+  - Maintains reference to the final built object in `context.output.data`
+  - **Registries**
+    - Data structures for storing/retrieving configurations and common objects
