Where does Bowire fit?
Pick the lane closest to your problem — each one points to the detail page.

A solution is the what / what for (the topic): the kind of problem you're trying to solve. The workflows on the homepage are the how (the role-specific path through the workbench), and features are the underlying capabilities each lane composes from.

Six topics where Bowire already covers the lane end-to-end. Each card lists what Bowire brings to the problem and links to the detail page.

  • API security testing

    live

    Burp Suite for the non-HTTP protocols — schema-aware, self-hosted, recordings as the vulnerability-template format.

    bowire scan · SARIF 2.1.0 for GitHub Code Scanning / GitLab / Azure DevOps · intercepting proxy with HTTPS MITM · JWT toolkit · reusable scan-template.yml GitHub Action.

    Security deep dive

  • API contract & regression testing

    live

    Record real traffic across every protocol, replay it against Dev / Staging / Prod, turn payloads into assertions that live next to the request.

    Cross-protocol recording timeline (gRPC streams, SignalR hubs, WebSocket frames, MQTT publishes, REST hits — same shape) · environment diff · 11-operator Newman-style assertions · CI via bowire call --recording.

    Contract testing deep dive

  • Multi-protocol service discovery

    live

    Plug a protocol in, get a live service tree — without hand-maintained proto / OpenAPI / hub-registration code.

    gRPC Server-Reflection · OpenAPI parse · GraphQL __schema introspection · SignalR EndpointDataSource · MQTT $SYS/# · plus every third-party plugin. Hot-reload re-scans every few seconds, new endpoints show up without a page refresh.

    Service discovery deep dive

  • Interactive API documentation

    live

    Every example in your docs is runnable. Reader edits the JSON, hits Send, sees the real response — no curl-paste-and-pray loop.

    Embeddable workbench next to your written guides · per-language code export (curl, grpcurl, typed C# / TypeScript) · offline-from-schema authoring · same UI your engineers already use.

    Interactive-docs deep dive

  • AI-agent tool surface

    live

    Every discovered method becomes a typed MCP tool with JSON-Schema input — no MCP server boilerplate to write yourself.

    --enable-mcp-adapter flag · auto-tool generation from the discovery pass · streaming-call support · drop the URL into Claude / Cursor / Copilot configs and the assistant has typed access to your service surface.

    AI-agent surface deep dive

  • Embedded debug UI in your service

    live

    One line in your ASP.NET app. Debug UI for your team and your users inside the binary you're already shipping — no separate Electron app behind a sign-up flow.

    app.MapBowire() · every endpoint browsable at /bowire · zero account walls · ships with your binary, no separate distribution.

    Embedded UI deep dive

  • Dev-loop debugging vs. logs / dashboards

    live

    Bowire is the interactive call & inspect tier — sibling, not substitute, to Console.WriteLine, Serilog, Loki, and Grafana. Same engineering team, different feedback loops.

    Active vs passive · contract-shaping vs system-watching · seconds-scale iteration vs minutes-to-days observability · one stack, both layers.

    Dev-loop deep dive

  • Service mocking & virtualization

    live

    Develop without the real backend. bowire mock turns a captured recording into a live endpoint — same protocols, same payloads, same timing — no paid API credits, no 10-minute docker-compose boot, no shared staging.

    Multi-protocol replay · hot-reload · chaos injection · capture-on-miss · schema-only mode for early-stage APIs.

    Service-mocking deep dive

On the roadmap

The primitives are shipped; the productised lane on top is what's still in flight.

  • Frame-semantics for geospatial data

    partial

    GeoJSON / WKT / DIS PDUs plot on a MapLibre canvas as soon as the workbench sees them — no annotation work needed for the common shapes.

    Already shipped: the frame-semantics framework, the MapLibre map extension, replay-determinism over detector drift. Still on the list: vertical templates for tactical / maritime / aviation / logistics dashboards.

Don't see your lane?

If the workflow you need is close to but not exactly one of the above — or completely different — the Community channel is the fastest path to find out whether the primitives already cover it.
