## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: api-documentation, middleware, documentation
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, documentation
- platform: -
- tags: swagger, openapi, express, api-docs, swagger-ui, nodejs, web-server
