Custom Server Tutorial

In this tutorial we'll be building up a custom server. The core will be generated using a manually written and maintained OpenAPI 2.0 spec. The cli code will be a thin layer around that, and will simply setup the API and server, using the parsed configurations and our hand written handlers.

The server we'll building will be very simple. In this tutorial we'll assume you are already familiar with defining an API, using the OpenAPI 2.0 yaml specification format. Please consult [the official OpenAPI 2.0 specification][OpenAPI2.0] for more information in case you're new to OpenAPI (Also known as Swagger).

The end product of this tutorial can be found as https://github.com/go-swagger/examples/tutorials/custom-server.

The server we'll be building, will be generated using the following spec:
