Swagger is a powerful open-source tool that allows you to design, build, and secure RESTful APIs. It provides a way to visualize your API's structure and interactions, making it easier to understand and maintain.

Key Features

  • API Documentation: Swagger provides interactive documentation for your API, allowing users to explore and interact with your API endpoints.
  • Interactive API Testing: Swagger allows you to test your API directly from the documentation page.
  • API Security: Swagger supports various security measures to protect your API, including OAuth 2.0 and API keys.

Getting Started

To get started with Swagger, you need to:

  1. Install Swagger: You can install Swagger using npm or pip, depending on your project setup.
  2. Define Your API: Use Swagger's YAML or JSON format to define your API's endpoints, parameters, and responses.
  3. Run Swagger: Start the Swagger server and access the documentation at http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.

Example
