Overview

Swagger UI is an open-source tool that enables developers and end-users to visualize and interact with API resources without requiring the underlying implementation. It automatically generates interactive documentation from an OpenAPI Specification, facilitating both backend development and client-side consumption. This user-friendly interface streamlines the process of understanding and utilizing APIs, enhancing collaboration and efficiency within development teams.
