Overview

Swagger Editor is an open-source tool that enables developers to design, define, and document HTTP-based and event-driven APIs using the OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications. Accessible through any web browser, it offers a user-friendly interface for creating and visualizing API definitions in both YAML and JSON formats. Developers can run Swagger Editor locally or access it online, facilitating seamless integration into various development workflows. The tool provides real-time validation, ensuring compliance with API specifications as you write, and supports intelligent auto-completion to enhance productivity. Additionally, Swagger Editor allows for the generation of server stubs and client SDKs in multiple programming languages, streamlining the API development process. For teams and organizations seeking advanced features such as collaboration, versioning, and centralized definition storage, SwaggerHub integrates Swagger Editor into a comprehensive API platform.
