A Symfony bundle that generates OpenAPI/Swagger documentation for REST APIs from PHP 8 attributes and code analysis. It exposes interactive docs (Swagger UI, Redoc) and machine-readable OpenAPI specs for Symfony applications.

Use cases

• generate openapi spec from symfony controllers
• document rest api endpoints with php attributes
• serve swagger ui for my symfony api
• auto-generate api docs from dto classes
• produce openapi 3.0 yaml/json for a php backend
• integrate redoc documentation into symfony app

When to choose

• you have a Symfony (6.4+) or PHP 8.1+ REST API and want docs generated from attributes
• you need OpenAPI 3.0 specs with Swagger UI or Redoc rendering
• you want docs kept in sync with your code automatically

When to avoid

• you use a non-Symfony PHP framework or PHP below 8.1
• you rely on legacy annotations (removed in 5.x)
• you need Swagger 2.0 output (use bundle version 3)
