Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “In this example, we can see that a combination of hellopixi and user@acme.com resulted in a 200 OK status code and the return of a JWT.”

A block of code is set as follows:

<note> 
    <to>Colin</to> 
    <priority>High</priority> 
    <heading>Reminder</heading> 
    <body>Learn about API security</body> 
</note> 

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

{
   "openapi": "3.0.0",
   "info": {
       "version": "1.0.0",
       "title": "Swagger Petstore",
       "license": {
           "name": "MIT" }

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

colind@mbm: ~ # sudo nmap -sn 192.168.9.0/24 

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "YAML Ain’t Markup Language (YAML) is another common internet format, similar to JSON in its design goals".
