OpenAPI Explorer UI
OpenAPI Explorer is an open source web component for viewing OpenAPI specifications in a browser.
It is designed to be embedded in a site or application as a custom element. The project also describes automatic integration options for React and Vue.
What OpenAPI Explorer Shows
OpenAPI Explorer can render an OpenAPI file as an API explorer and console.
It can help people:
- view resources and models from the OpenAPI document
- make API calls from the rendered interface
- see generated client or SDK code samples
- style the component to fit the host site
When To Consider OpenAPI Explorer
OpenAPI Explorer is a good fit when you want an embeddable component instead of a hosted documentation platform.
Because it is a browser UI, API calls made from the page are still affected by browser security rules such as CORS. For exploratory API testing, compare the requests it sends with a REST client or an HTTP proxy when you need stronger evidence.
