Ability to specify the client side interface of an API, created in the API Editor

We want the ability to specify the client side interface of an API, created in the API Editor, independent of the server side interface, i.e., the interface created by the BAQLS2JS utility. Specifically, we want to define the representation of the resources exposed and consumed (if appropriate) by the interface. We want the ability to specify the representations as JSON Schema or Swagger Schema Objects.

In addition, we would like the API Editor to support importing Swagger documents to define the skeleton of the API's interface. Once the skeleton is in place, we would complete the definition of the API implementation by declaring the service implementation and defining the mappings.

    I agree with this requirement. The current implementation of the product exposes implementation details (CICS channel / container names) in the API structure which is unacceptable to our API standards.
