## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: api-documentation, documentation, serialization
- domain: web-development, apis, documentation, backend
- platform: python
- tags: django, django-rest-framework, openapi, swagger, swagger-ui, redoc, schema-generation
