Examples and server integrations for generating the Swagger API Specification, which enables easy access to your REST API

Primary LanguageJavaOtherNOASSERTION

Swagger Core library

Build Status

The goal of Swagger™ is to define a standard, language-agnostic interface to REST APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. When properly defined via Swagger, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service with a minimal amount of implementation logic. Similar to what interfaces have done for lower-level programming, Swagger removes the guesswork in calling the service.

Swagger-core is the Java implementation of Swagger. Current version supports JAX-RS. Future milestone releases will add support for plain Servlets and Play Framework.

Check out Swagger-Spec for additional information about the Swagger project, including additional libraries with support for SpringMVC, other languages and more.

Where is Scala support?

To allow independent development, scala support has been moved into a separate project. See the swagger-scala-module for details. Play! framework support is moving outside the swagger-core project as well.

Overview

This is a project to build the swagger-core library, which is required for the Swagger implementation of the Swagger spec.
