• An analyzer providing methods to walk the functional content of a specification
• A spec flattener producing a self-contained document bundle, while preserving $refs
• A spec merger ("mixin") to merge several spec documents into a primary spec
• A spec "fixer" ensuring that response descriptions are non empty

• Does this library support OpenAPI 3?

No. This package currently only supports OpenAPI 2.0 (aka Swagger 2.0). There is no plan to make it evolve toward supporting OpenAPI 3.x. This discussion thread relates the full story.
