A Swagger/OpenAPI documentation generator for Django REST Framework that renders OpenAPI JSON schemas and an interactive Swagger UI from DRF API views. It was deprecated in June 2019 in favor of drf-yasg and is no longer maintained.

Use cases

• generate swagger docs for django rest framework api
• add swagger ui to django rest framework
• generate openapi schema from django rest framework views
• interactive api documentation for drf
• auto-generate api docs from django serializers

When to choose

• maintaining a legacy Django project that already depends on it
• you need the exact CoreAPI-based schema generation behavior of DRF 3.4-3.5 era

When to avoid

• starting any new Django REST Framework project - use drf-yasg instead
• you need OpenAPI 3.x support or active maintenance
• running modern Django or Python versions
• you need security updates or bug fixes
