The record

Purpose: AsyncAPI Studio is a place to develop AsyncAPI documents, validate them, convert them to the latest version, preview documentation, and visualize event flows.
Document formats: AsyncAPI documents can be written in JSON or YAML.
Remote imports: Studio can import AsyncAPI files from remote URLs and resolve relative $ref references against the remote URL.
Local references: Studio can resolve local file references after the user grants access to the folder containing the AsyncAPI files and schemas.
Schema formats: The README lists Avro .avsc, JSON Schema .json, and YAML .yaml as supported referenced schema formats.
Schema editing: Studio can edit the main AsyncAPI document and referenced schema files, with changes reflected when the parser re-validates.
Saving files: Files opened from a folder can be saved to their original location, while other files can be exported to a selected local file.
Additional viewers: Studio includes a Markdown preview with Mermaid diagrams and an Avro schema viewer that generates Mermaid diagrams.
Browser compatibility: The README says local folder access is supported in Chrome, Edge, and Brave, and is not supported in Firefox or Safari.
Folder access security: Folder access is granted for the current session only and is not persisted, so it must be granted again each time the application is opened.
CLI integration: The AsyncAPI CLI can start a local Studio instance with `asyncapi start studio [SPEC-FILE]`.
Download size and prerequisite: The CLI installation guide says Studio is downloaded on demand at approximately 450 MB and that npm must be available on PATH for that installation.
License and governance: The AsyncAPI Initiative describes itself as an Apache License 2.0 project under the Linux Foundation with an open governance model.
