OpenAPI Specification vs Swagger Inspector: What are the differences?
Developers describe OpenAPI Specification as "An API description format for REST APIs". It defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to RESTful APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. On the other hand, Swagger Inspector is detailed as "Test and Document Your APIs With Ease". It is a free cloud-based API testing and documentation tool to simplify the validation of any API and generate its corresponding OpenAPI documentation.
OpenAPI Specification and Swagger Inspector belong to "API Tools" category of the tech stack.
