Missing cli feature: Add $metadata operation and root about odata-openapi HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @gregorwolf,

I was wondering what the /$metadata path would state and checked the OData Transformer you linked above. Result is

    "/$metadata": {
      "get": {
        "summary": "$Metadata endpoint",
        "operationId": "$metadata/get",
        "responses": {
          "200": {
            "description": ""
          }
        }
      }
    }

Now I wonder how this would be helpful. Could you please provide a use case?

Thanks in advance

In my current scenario there is an API management system that only allows requests that match the OpenAPI specification.

What requirements does your API management system have regarding preciseness of the request description? The example above basically allows any kind of response.

Would it be an option for you to reflect the specialties of your API management system in a post-processing step that adds a system-specific /$metadata path?

Hey Ralf, that's pretty much what the converter site described above does, it's not overly complex to do to be honest.
Here's the few lines of code we use to add it.
