Swagger Editor
Swagger Editor is a web-based authoring tool and development environment used to design, document, and validate API specifications. It specifically supports the OpenAPI Specification, providing a browser interface for writing API schemas and verifying their structure.
The tool features real-time rendering that produces a visual preview of the API documentation as the specification is edited. It includes syntax highlighting based on standardized schemas to improve the readability of the API definitions.
The editor supports importing specifications from files, external URLs, or example fixtures and persists the current state to local storage to prevent data loss. It is distributed as a container image, including a non-root version to reduce the security attack surface during deployment.
Features
