Swagger API Documentation
Complete guide to generate and customize Swagger documentation in your PHP project.
Swagger is a powerful tool for documenting APIs. It provides a user-friendly interface for developers to interact with API endpoints and understand the request and response structures. This page provides a detailed guide on how to set up Swagger in your PHP project and generate API documentation.
With Swagger, you can easily create and maintain accurate documentation for your APIs. It allows you to define the structure of your API endpoints, including request and response schemas, authentication requirements, and available parameters. Swagger also provides a built-in testing interface.
By using Swagger, you improve the developer experience with clear documentation. It also reduces support time and ensures your documentation stays up-to-date as your API evolves.
To get started with Swagger in your PHP project, install the Swagger PHP library and configure it to generate docs using your code annotations.
Remember to keep your Swagger documentation up-to-date as you make changes to your API.
