Open API for interface definition

FRSM-11: The software uses open APIs that support machine-readable interface definition. This metric is only applicable if APIs are implemented. Test: 1) The software provides documented APIs (Essential). 2) The APIs are open (freely accessible) (Important). 3) The APIs include a machine-readable interface definition (Useful).

Principle: I

Rationale: An open Application Programming Interface can be freely accessed by other software or developers, which makes it easier to integrate software and encourages modularity and reuse.
