Swagger Client is a JavaScript library for fetching, resolving, and executing requests against Swagger/OpenAPI-defined REST APIs from the browser or Node.js. It parses OpenAPI 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 documents and turns them into callable client operations.

Use cases

• call a REST API from an OpenAPI spec in JavaScript
• fetch and resolve a swagger/openapi document in node
• generate an api client from an openapi 3.1 definition
• execute swagger-defined operations in the browser
• validate and dereference an openapi spec programmatically

When to choose

• you have an OpenAPI/Swagger spec and want to call the API without hand-writing HTTP code
• you need to parse, resolve, or validate OpenAPI documents in JS
• you need a client that works in both browser and Node.js

When to avoid

• your API has no OpenAPI/Swagger definition
• you need a code-generating SDK for other languages (use Swagger Codegen)
• you only need interactive API docs UI (use Swagger UI)
