The Ultimate Swagger Tools Course: Build OpenAPI with Ease

Description

The usage of Swagger has increased among API developers in the recent past. Companies such as Microsoft, Alibaba, and National Geographic use Swagger to release products faster based on OpenAPI standards. Swagger Tools are the first choice among API developers while working with OpenAPIs. RESTful APIs are currently the most popular way to communicate across different systems. Get ahead of the curve and learn to work with the OpenAPI (Swagger) standards. The course will help you understand Swagger Tools and its types, including SwaggerHub. You will master Swagger Editor and Swagger UI to create OpenAPI specification documents. After that, you will use Swagger Codegen for server stub and client SDK code generation, publish APIs in the SwaggerHub community, collaborate using SwaggerHub with team members, and build a new OpenAPI specification through Swagger Tools for a case study through step-by-step instructions. Finally, you will cover Swagger Inspector to test APIs with ease and look at the best practices for SwaggerHub usage. By the end of this course, you will know how to use all the Swagger tools; namely, Swagger Editor, Swagger UI, Swagger Codegen, Swagger Inspector, and SwaggerHub. You will be able to document, generate server and client code, test the generated codes, and collaborate with team members for any OpenAPI specification.
