SWAGGER The World's Most Popular Framework for APIs

The Swagger framework addresses server, client, documentation, and sandbox needs for RESTful APIs.^{[citation needed]}

As a specification, it is language-agnostic. It is also extensible into new technologies and protocols beyond HTTP.^{[citation needed]}

With Swagger's declarative resource specification, clients can understand and consume services without knowledge of server implementation or access to the server code.^{[citation needed]}

The Swagger UI framework allows both developers and non-developers to interact with the API in a sandbox UI that gives clear insight into how the API responds to parameters and options. Swagger may utilize both JSON and XML.
