What REST API Docs Generator does, with a checked example
Paste or upload an OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) spec in JSON or YAML and this tool renders it as readable reference documentation: one section per operation, with the HTTP method, path, parameters, request body, and response schemas expanded inline, plus examples wherever the spec defines them. It is a renderer, not a test runner. Nothing is sent to your API, so the output can only be as current and complete as the spec file. Users are most often surprised that the only way to improve the docs is to enrich the spec: descriptions and examples you write there are exactly what appears on the page.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
title: Todo API
version: 1.0.0
paths:
/todos:
get:
summary: List all todos
responses:
'200':
description: OK
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: array
items:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/Todo'
components:
schemas:
Todo:
type: object
required: [id, title]
properties:
id:
type: integer
format: int64
title:
type: string
done:
type: boolean ->
Expected output
Todo API - v1.0.0
GET /todos - List all todos
200 OK - application/json
Schema: array of Todo
Todo (object)
id integer (int64) required
title string required
done boolean optional The generator resolves the $ref to the Todo schema in components and renders the 200 response as an array of Todo objects, expanding id, title, and done as declared and marking exactly the fields the spec's required list names.
