Swagger

Tooling built on the OpenAPI specification for describing what an HTTP API accepts and returns, and for generating documentation and clients from that description.

I have used Swagger and the OpenAPI specification to design, document, and standardize RESTful API contracts. In my current role at UW-Milwaukee I lean on vendor Swagger definitions to work out how to interact with the SaaS products we buy.
