Features

• #7196: Made changes to @axway/api-builder-runtime startup to enable loading middleware from plugins such as @axway/api-builder-plugin-prometheus.
• #7196: Added a new plugin @axway/api-builder-plugin-prometheus that will enable Prometheus compatible metrics in the application. Metrics will be available on a different port to the main service. For more information and how to get started, see here.
• #7193: Request bodies (such as for Endpoints and OpenAPI flow-triggers) will now be a string instead of a Buffer when the request has an XML-like type content-type header (e.g. application/xml). Newly handled XML content-types are as follows:
  • application/xml
  • application/xml-dtd
  • application/xml-external-parsed-entity
  • application/*+xml
  • image/svg+xml
  • model/x3d+xml
