What is Swagger?

Swagger is a suite of API developer tools (open source, free, or commercially available) from SmartBear Software.

Swagger's open source tools include:

Its commercial, or Pro, tools include:

  • SwaggerHub
  • SwaggerHub Enterprise
  • Swagger Inspector

Quite confusingly, the Swagger Specification is also the former name for the OpenAPI Specification.

Info

The OpenAPI Specification (aka the Spec) was originally based on the Swagger Specification, donated by SmartBear Software. Once the Spec was donated it became a separate project in 2016, overseen by the OpenAPI Initiative, an open source collaboration project of the Linux Foundation.
