## What it is
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore is a library that generates OpenAPI (Swagger) documents for ASP.NET Core APIs directly from code, with an embedded Swagger UI for exploring and testing endpoints. It supports Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0/3.1, keeping API documentation automatically in sync with the latest code.

## Use cases
- generate openapi documentation for asp.net core api
- add swagger ui to web api
- document rest api endpoints automatically
- test api endpoints from a browser ui
- produce openapi json for client code generation
- keep api docs in sync with code

## When to choose
- you build ASP.NET Core APIs and want living, code-generated OpenAPI docs
- you want an embedded Swagger UI with minimal setup
- you need OpenAPI 2.0/3.0/3.1 output for downstream tooling like client generators

## When to avoid
- your API is not built on ASP.NET Core / .NET
- you need hand-authored, heavily customized documentation rather than code-generated specs
- you use a non-Microsoft web framework with its own OpenAPI tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: api-documentation, documentation, middleware, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: swagger, openapi, aspnet-core, swagger-ui, api-docs, csharp, web-server
