About Swagger UI
Swagger UI takes an OpenAPI description and produces a browsable page where every operation is documented with its parameters, schemas and examples, and can be called directly from the page. It can be embedded in an application or served as static files.
Strengths
- Turns a specification into documentation people can actually call
- Embeds into an existing site or serves as plain static files
Limitations
- Only as good as the OpenAPI description behind it
- The try-it-out feature needs CORS configured on the API
