About Swagger Editor — OpenAPI & AsyncAPI Editor
Swagger Editor is the official open-source editor for designing OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications, built by the Swagger/OpenAPI team. Write YAML or JSON and get real-time validation plus a live, rendered documentation preview side-by-side. The build here is self-hosted directly from the swagger-api/swagger-editor project's own source and runs entirely client-side: nothing you write is uploaded to any server by this site.
How to use
- Start typing or paste an OpenAPI or AsyncAPI spec into the Monaco-based editor pane.
- Watch the live preview pane render your API documentation as you type, with inline validation errors and warnings.
- Use File → Download to save your spec as YAML or JSON.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my spec uploaded anywhere?
- No. Editing, parsing, and validation all happen entirely in your browser — nothing you write is sent to a server by this site.
- Does it make any external network calls?
- Not automatically. The editor loads with a bundled, local example Petstore spec. That example spec's "Try it out" feature, if you use it, sends a live request to petstore.swagger.io (the example API's own declared server) — that's a request you explicitly trigger, not something the editor does on load.
- What spec formats are supported?
- OpenAPI 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2, and AsyncAPI 2.6 and 3.0, in YAML or JSON.
