an API defined with the OpenAPI (Swagger) Specification

● Swagger is an open-source software framework backed
by a large ecosystem of tools that helps developers design,
build, document, and consume RESTful Web services.
● Swagger allows you to describe the structure of your APIs
so that machines can read them.
● The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the

Swagger allows you to describe the structure of your APIs so that
machines can read them.
The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the root of
all awesomeness in Swagger
similar to xml schema but for Json
Do you have API documentation website for your API?
Yes, we use swagger for our api documentation, and this is where
the description and guidelines of API endpoints are
Where do you keep API reference documentation in
your Project?
We use SWAGGER to keep API endpoints and descriptions. I
normally go there and learn about API methods and how they
work.
Swagger is being used to share documents among developers, testers, and product managers, as well as to automate API-related tasks through various technologies. OpenAPI Specification (OAS), which includes both open source and professional tools, is also utilized in the development of APIs.
Swagger also assists in defining the structure of our APIs so that machines may read them. It accomplishes this by requesting that our API return JSON or YAML including a full description of our API. The major Swagger tools include:
Swagger Editor—- It is a browser-based editor for writing OpenAPI specifications.
Swagger UI—- Creates dynamic API documentation from OpenAPI specifications.
Swagger Codegen—- from an OpenAPI specification, it creates server stubs and user libraries.

Open-source framework developed by Wordnik now called OpenAI specification
Usually used for consuming RESTful APIs

Swagger is an Interface Description Language for describing RESTful APIs expressed using JSON. Swagger is used together with a set of open-source software tools to design, build, document, and use RESTful web services. Swagger includes automated documentation, code generation, and test-case generation.
