An Express middleware module that serves Swagger UI from a swagger.json (or generated spec) file, exposing interactive API documentation at a route in your app. It acts as living documentation hosted directly from your API server.

Use cases

• serve swagger ui from an express app
• host interactive api documentation for my node.js api
• add openapi docs endpoint to express
• living documentation for a rest api
• render swagger.json in the browser
• integrate swagger docs with express router

When to choose

• you have an Express app and a Swagger/OpenAPI document you want to expose as browsable docs
• you want documentation served from the same server as your API
• you use swagger-jsdoc and need a UI to render the generated spec

When to avoid

• your API is not built on Express or Node.js
• you only need static documentation files rather than a served UI
• you need spec generation itself rather than UI serving
