# swagger-openApi

### Swagger (OpenAPI) Overview

Swagger (now known as OpenAPI) is a framework for documenting and defining RESTful APIs. It helps developers design, build, document, and consume APIs efficiently.

### 🔹 Key Features of Swagger (OpenAPI):

- **API Documentation:** Automatically generates interactive API documentation.
- **Standardized Format:** Uses JSON or YAML to define API endpoints, request/response models, and authentication.
- **Testing & Validation:** Provides a UI (Swagger UI) to test APIs directly from the browser.
- **Code Generation:** Can generate client SDKs and server stubs in multiple languages.
- **Version Control:** Supports maintaining different API versions with clear documentation.

### 🛠️ How It Works:

1. Define API endpoints using OpenAPI Specification (OAS) in `swagger.json` or `swagger.yaml`.
2. Use tools like **Swagger UI** or **Redoc** to visualize and interact with APIs.
3. Integrate Swagger with frameworks like Express (Node.js), FastAPI (Python), Spring Boot (Java), etc.

### 📌 Use Cases:

- API Documentation for Developers
- Testing APIs without Postman or cURL
- Generating Client SDKs (e.g., JavaScript, Python, Java, etc.)
- Ensuring API Contracts are Met
