redoc VS swagger-ui

Link: Redoc

OpenAPI is great, we use it in combination with redoc (https://github.com/Redocly/redoc) to have a almost 0 effort API for our product.

But man, my tokenizer is in trouble with OpenAPI and OpenAI.

Redoc: Generate API documentation

ReDoc Interactive Demo

ReDoc focuses on simplicity and readability, presenting the API documentation in a user-friendly format. It supports dark mode, multiple languages, and offers a seamless browsing experience for API consumers.

There are a few other tools out there that are at least marginally better than the default Swagger UI such as ReDoc (https://github.com/Redocly/redoc).

When we redid the Mux docs (https://docs.mux.com/api-reference) we actually just decided to build our own renderer. It really wasn't as bad as you might think, at build time we pull in the JSON version of our OAS spec and render it as a static build in our Nextjs app. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't trivial, but the benefit of having complete control over the output has been well worth it.

ReDoc is a tool that's similar to Swagger UI. It also takes an OAS and renders an interactive HTML page with full API documentation details; however, it has a notable difference.

The easiest way to define what LiveAPI is, via a contrast with Swagger et cetera.

Good documentation is vital for any API. Consider using tools like Swagger or Postman to create interactive documentation.

1. Use tools like Swagger or Postman to auto-generate docs

This project also comes with an index.html that can be served statically and it also interacts with the Swagger UI official bundle that is contained inside the dist folder.

Automated Documentation Generators: Tools like Swagger for APIs, Javadoc for Java, and Sphinx for Python automatically generate documentation based on code annotations, comments, or metadata.

An API is like a contract between a client and a server or between two applications. Before testing the implementation, it must be ensured that the contract is correct by checking the specification (e.g. Swagger or OpenAPI). For Rest APIs, it is important that all HTTP REST semantics and principles are adhered to. This is all the more important for publicly accessible APIs so that all functionalities can continue to be guaranteed after updates.
