Swagger Core is a powerful Java library built to help developers create interactive API documentation using the OpenAPI Specification. This guide will walk you through the steps of getting started with Swagger Core, its compatibility, and troubleshooting ideas.
Getting Started
Before diving into the details, ensure you meet the prerequisites:
- Java 11
- Apache Maven 3.0.4 or greater
- Jackson 2.4.5 or greater
Building Swagger Core from Source
If you intend to build Swagger Core locally, follow these commands:
mvn -N # For the first-time build
mvn install # For subsequent buildsThese commands will compile all the necessary modules. If you wish to skip building, you can pull the artifacts directly from Maven Central at Maven Central.
Sample Applications
For practical examples, the sample apps have moved to a new repository, which includes various integrations and configurations. You can check them out at Swagger Samples.
