A PHP library that generates OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation for RESTful APIs using PHP 8 attributes or legacy doctrine annotations embedded in source code. It supports OpenAPI 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 specs and can be used programmatically or via a command-line tool.

Use cases

• generate OpenAPI documentation from PHP source code
• document a RESTful API with PHP attributes
• produce swagger. or openapi.yaml specs for a PHP API
• keep API docs in sync with code via docblock annotations
• generate OpenAPI 3.1 specs from a PHP codebase
• add interactive API documentation to a PHP backend

When to choose

• you maintain a PHP REST API and want OpenAPI docs generated from the code itself
• you want documentation colocated with controllers using PHP 8 attributes
• you need CLI or programmatic generation of OpenAPI 3.0/3.1/3.2 specs

When to avoid

• your API is not written in PHP
• you prefer writing OpenAPI specs by hand or from a design-first workflow
• you rely on doctrine annotations without wanting an extra dependency (attributes are preferred)
