â Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpenAPI/Swagger?
+
OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger) is an industry-standard specification for describing, producing,
consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services. It provides a way to describe your API's structure in a
format that both humans and machines can understand. The specification includes information about endpoints,
request/response formats, authentication methods, and more.
What's the difference between OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0?
+
OpenAPI 3.0 introduced several improvements over 2.0 (Swagger):
âĸ Simplified structure: Components section replaces definitions, parameters, responses
âĸ Request body: Dedicated requestBody keyword instead of body parameters
âĸ Multiple content types: Better support for different media types
âĸ oneOf/anyOf/allOf: Enhanced schema composition
âĸ Callbacks: Support for webhook-style async operations
âĸ Links: Relationship links between operations

What file formats are supported?
+
This viewer supports both JSON and YAML formats. You can paste your
specification in either format, and the tool will automatically detect and parse it. You can also load
specifications directly from a URL if your server allows CORS requests.
How do I create an OpenAPI specification?
+
There are several ways to create an OpenAPI spec:
âĸ Manual writing: Write JSON/YAML following the OpenAPI spec
âĸ Swagger Editor: Use the official Swagger Editor for guided creation
âĸ Code annotations: Use annotations in your code (like springdoc, swagger-jsdoc)
âĸ API clients: Tools like Postman can export OpenAPI specs
âĸ Auto-generation: Many frameworks auto-generate specs from your routes

Can I generate code from my API spec?
+
Yes! This tool can generate code snippets in multiple languages (cURL, JavaScript, Python) for each
endpoint. Click on any endpoint to expand it, and you'll see the code snippets section. For full SDK
generation, you can use tools like OpenAPI Generator or Swagger Codegen.
Is my API specification data stored?
+
No, absolutely not! All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your API specification
is never sent to our servers and is not stored anywhere. This makes it safe to use even with sensitive or
proprietary API documentation.
What are common use cases for OpenAPI/Swagger?
+
âĸ API Documentation: Generate interactive documentation for developers
âĸ Client SDK Generation: Auto-generate SDKs in multiple languages
âĸ API Testing: Create test cases from the spec
âĸ Mock Servers: Generate mock servers for frontend development
âĸ API Validation: Validate requests/responses against the spec
âĸ Contract Testing: Ensure API implementation matches the spec
