About API Challenge's Normal OpenAPI File
The Normal OpenAPI File is intended for use as though you were a user.
It only lists endpoints that are valid to use, and has additional validation on the URL Parameters that you can enter.
When this type of file is loaded into a Swagger UI Generation application it makes it easy to USE the API but makes it harder to TEST the API.
About API Challenge's Permissive OpenAPI File
The Permissive OpenAPI File is intended for testing.
It lists all the end points with more Verbs i.e. even verbs that the API defines as not available.
The parameters are also possible to send as empty and type validation is not performed on the parameter values. This makes it possible to use Swagger UI applications to test more extreme situations.
