Converting Swagger specification JSON to HTML documentation

Question

For some REST APIs written in PHP  I was asked to create Swagger documentation  and since I was not aware of any easy way of adding annotations to those existing APIs and create such a documentation  I used this editor to generate some for now   I saved the JSON and YAML files created using that editor  and now I need to create the final interactive Swagger documentation  this statement might sound naive and vague    Can someone please let me know how I can convert the Swagger JSON specification file to actual Swagger documentation    I am on the Windows platform and do not know anything about Ant Maven

I was not satisfied with swagger-codegen when I was looking for a tool to do this  so I wrote my own  Have a look at bootprint-swagger  The main goal compared to swagger-codegen is to provide an easy setup  though you ll need nodejs   And it should be easy to adapt styling and templates to your own needs  which is a core functionality of the bootprint-project

Everything was too difficult or badly documented so I solved this with a simple script swagger-yaml-to-html py  which works like this  python swagger-yaml-to-html py  lt   path to api yaml  gt  doc html   This is for YAML but modifying it to work with JSON is also trivial

I spent a lot of time and tried a lot of different solutions - in the end I did it this way     lt html gt       lt head gt               lt link rel  stylesheet  href  https   cdn jsdelivr net npm swagger-ui-dist 3 17 0 swagger-ui css  gt           lt script src    unpkg com swagger-ui-dist 3 swagger-ui-bundle js  gt  lt  script gt           lt script gt               function render                     var ui   SwaggerUIBundle                       url    path to my swagger yaml                       dom id    swagger-ui                       presets                            SwaggerUIBundle presets apis                          SwaggerUIBundle SwaggerUIStandalonePreset                                                                   lt  script gt       lt  head gt        lt body onload  render    gt           lt div id  swagger-ui  gt  lt  div gt       lt  body gt   lt  html gt    You just need to have path to my swagger yaml served from the same location   or use CORS headers
