## What it is
A JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA plugin (Zalando OpenAPI Editor) that provides editing support for OpenAPI and Swagger specification files, including auto-completion and custom extension points. It is written in Java and distributed via the JetBrains Marketplace.

## Use cases
- edit openapi spec files in intellij
- swagger yaml autocomplete in ide
- validate openapi 3.0 specification while editing
- custom completion for swagger extensions
- write api definitions in intellij idea

## When to choose
- you use IntelliJ IDEA or other JetBrains IDEs and edit OpenAPI/Swagger specs regularly
- you want auto-completion, navigation, and validation for OpenAPI 2.0/3.x files
- you need extensible completion via custom extension points

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another non-JetBrains editor
- you only need to render or view OpenAPI docs rather than edit them
- you need a standalone OpenAPI editor outside an IDE
