Easy to implement , and publish.

Comes with pre filled json ( auto generated json )

Documentation becomes automated

Important for frontend , backend and product engineers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are accordions used , so you have scroll down open accordions to see, for each endpoint.

So a button at top to open all the accordions together may be better.

UX further can be improved , by keeping a glossary ( Table of content ) drawer on the right and the main content body can in center showcasing the endpoint. So one can easily switch to another by clicking on the Table of Content.

So, basically the UX can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, its good application for api testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

swagger provides the documentation of apis in the interactive manner with everything needed to document eg type of api like get , post, delete, put, patch etc, and endpoint of each api, request and response parameters and response type eg 400, 200, 401 etc, everything is placed in one place in a well organised and beautiful manner. the best part is its easy to ues and intergrate with your tool eg. spring boot you need to simply add the configuration that's it everything gets documented automatically. it even provided token based acces of the apis which makes them secure anyone can't use them without any proper token passed to it. its ui is user friendly and even though you can customise it. you can host your apis with swagger documentation which improves the developer experiance and made the best documentation to be available easily without much effort. i love this documentation of apis and i have never looked for any other tool once i started using it.

The best thing I personally like about swagger the UI/UX.

It has its own unique way of presenting the Rest API operation using unique colours for each of the operations (GET: blue, POST: green, PUT: yellow and DELETE: red). Also we can provide proper example of the schemas/structure for each type of error codes, which inturn helps user to understand the operations more easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as I know I havent come across any major point that I have disliked. One of the minor point I've noticed is that if we havnt performed any operations for a long time, it is usually timedout. But the frontend user would not know and it just provides a 401 code without any extra validation. This misleads the user that he doesnt have the permission to perform the action. Instead we should just re-authenticate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't know of a single alternative to Swagger UI for documenting & testing APIs that is as feature-rich.

1. Has in-build API testing which supports authentication custom payloads.

2. Can easily see all the different types of response models, errors - a server can return.

3. Has a big developer community around it & a lot of libraries for integration in Django, express, ruby on rails, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would really like if there was a sort-of drag-and-drop for simple APIs that can output static swagger ui HTML, CSS, JS files that I can easily host on something like GitHub pages. Without having to write the complete OpenAPI spec. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Swagger is the platform where a person with zero knowledge can try API Testing even without knowing all the stuffs about JSON and XML Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If am generating a authentication token and then I need to get some data in different module .Switching from first one yo to second one is hanging or slow

In some cases I need to close the browser and then restart it again.This is impacting productivity in a busy day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Swagger UI is best for API Documentation along with that you can test your APIs and the best feature I can say is it take token for authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their must be proper error message when their is some issue with swagger UI due to code . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It simplifies for the users to get the info and work on it at one go... helps collaboration with other teams or members to use our team API s. I use it everytime for every application I develop on to help others understand it.It has easy library imports for Go and for python as well. Pretty easy to implement.

nothing to dislike .. makes developers' everyday life easy. I use it atleast once per week to write for the apis I use... never felt difficulty in self understanding. Swagger UI team supports customers to preview as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
