Overall Satisfaction with Swagger Open Source, supported by SmartBear

We use Swagger Open Source to produce an online API documentation. For now we don't use openApi to generate API. We use it do produce the documentation of our API for the BNA - Banque Nationale Alzheimer (Alzheimer National data bank).The produced documentation is a communication tool between us and the editors of patient records who send us data
  • Produce documentation
  • user interface to create api definition
  • reusability of data description
  • for me the UI can be more simple
  • too many functionnalities when just want to produce doc, can be a separate app
  • A french documentation will be apreciated
  • Less time to produce our documentation
  • Documentation can be accessed online, this is a plus for our customers and partners
  • Great tools to communicate with other project actors
We use swagger only to generate the API documentation, for testing the APIs, we use Postman. We don't find an other tools for producing API documentation in web pages and also in pdf files.

Postman is a good complement for testing APIs on InterSystems IRIS (a powerful application server and DB manager) which implements these APIs.

Yes

To my opinion Swagger Open Source is a very good tool to quickly produce an api documentation, that how I use it.Swagger can also produce an open api file to generate an api for our application server (Inersystems Iris) but we don't use this functionality for now. We plan to use more Swagger features in the future.
