Swagger UI is a collection of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate interactive API documentation from an OpenAPI (Swagger) specification. It lets users visualize and try out API endpoints directly in the browser without any implementation logic in place.

Use cases

• generate interactive documentation from an openapi spec
• let users try out rest api endpoints in the browser
• embed api docs in a react application
• serve api documentation from a docker container
• explore and test an api without writing client code
• publish developer-facing docs for a rest api

When to choose

• you have an OpenAPI/Swagger spec and want interactive, auto-generated docs
• you want consumers to explore and execute API calls from the browser
• you need embeddable docs via npm, a React component, or a dependency-free dist bundle

When to avoid

• your API is not described by an OpenAPI/Swagger specification
• you need a full documentation portal with search, branding, and multi-API catalogs
• you need to generate client SDKs or server stubs rather than documentation
