About Swagger Editor
Swagger Editor is a web application for writing and editing OpenAPI descriptions of an API. As you edit the definition, it shows rendered documentation and can send live requests to the described endpoints to check they behave as documented.
The hosted version currently runs release 5.8.8. It suits developers and technical writers who design an API contract first or maintain an existing OpenAPI file.
Strengths
- Edit OpenAPI definitions in the browser
- Send live requests to the described API
- Nothing to install
Limitations
- Focused on OpenAPI files rather than ad hoc requests
- No saved request collections like a full API client
