Documentation with Swagger
In this chapter, we’ll look at documenting your project with Swagger. Human-readable documentation is critical in an API. It allows your clients to understand each endpoint and the potential responses quickly.
We’ll ensure that our Swagger documentation adheres to the OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) Specification by utilizing XML and incorporating attributes within the code. You can learn more about OpenAPI at https://swagger.io/docs/specification/about/.
Swagger needs an OpenAPI implementation, and in the case of .NET, Swashbuckle serves as the designated option.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- What Swagger is
- How Swagger is used
- How to set up Swagger
- How to pass parameters to Swagger
