• Enhances auto-suggestion functionality for metadata elements by providing the element's conformance level (Required, Recommended, Optional).

• Enhances auto-suggestion functionality for metadata values by suggesting a list of values used by other APIs along with and sorted by their usage frequency.

• Enables semantic annotation of parameters and responses of the API:
