Support OpenAPI 3.2.0 documents (standalone mode)
Describe the problem to be solved
The OpenAPI 3.2.0 specification was released in September 2025. When loading an OpenAPI 3.2.0 document, Redoc rejects it with: "Unsupported OpenAPI version: 3.2.0". This blocks any project that has upgraded its API contract to OAS 3.2 from rendering documentation with Redoc.
Describe the solution you'd like
Redoc should parse and render OpenAPI 3.2.0 documents the same way it handles 3.0.x and 3.1.x today. Since 3.2 is a minor increment over 3.1, the core rendering logic should require minimal changes — the main blocker appears to be the version validation check.
At minimum:
- Accept
openapi: 3.2.xin the version check - Handle any new 3.2-specific constructs gracefully (degrade rather than error if not yet fully supported)
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Downgrading the spec to 3.1.0 — works but prevents using 3.2 features and forces contract divergence from the source of truth.
- Using Swagger UI — supports 3.2 but lacks the single-page rendering and customization that Redoc provides.
- Using Redocly CLI
preview— the CLI has started adding 3.2 support, butredocitself does not benefit from it yet.
Additional context
- Related: #2746
- The
redocly-clihas begun incremental 3.2 support (see referenced PRs), butredochasn't received these changes yet. - OAS 3.2 is largely backwards-compatible with 3.1, so a pragmatic first step could be relaxing the version gate to
3.2.xwhile progressively adding full support.
