## What it is
Swagger Editor is a browser-based and embeddable editor for authoring OpenAPI and Swagger API specifications in YAML/JSON. It is available as a hosted web app, a Docker image, and an npm React component for embedding into other applications.

## Use cases
- design and edit OpenAPI 3.x specifications
- validate Swagger/OpenAPI YAML files with live preview
- embed an API spec editor into a React application
- self-host an OpenAPI editor via Docker
- write REST API definitions before code generation

## When to choose
- you need a dedicated editor for OpenAPI/Swagger specs with validation
- you want to embed API spec editing into your own web app
- you want a self-hosted or Dockerized OpenAPI editor

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose YAML or code editor
- you are designing GraphQL or gRPC schemas rather than OpenAPI
- you need a full API lifecycle management platform
