drf-yasg is a Python library that automatically generates real Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0 specifications from Django REST Framework code. It bundles Swagger UI and ReDoc for interactive API documentation and supports nested serializers, codegen-compatible model definitions, and customization hooks.

Use cases

• generate OpenAPI 2.0 schema from Django REST Framework API
• serve interactive Swagger UI docs for a DRF API
• document DRF endpoints with nested serializer schemas
• produce codegen-compatible model definitions from DRF code
• validate generated Swagger schema automatically
• export API spec in JSON or YAML

When to choose

• your project is locked to OpenAPI/Swagger 2.0
• you need mature, battle-tested schema generation for an existing DRF codebase
• you want bundled Swagger UI and ReDoc out of the box

When to avoid

• you need OpenAPI 3.0 or 3.1 support - use drf-spectacular instead
• you are starting a new DRF project and can pick a more actively developed alternative
• your API does not use Django REST Framework
