Swagger UI vs Wiki.js: What are the differences?

Swagger UI: A Collection of HTML, Javascript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation. Swagger UI is a dependency-free collection of HTML, Javascript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation and sandbox from a Swagger-compliant API; Wiki.js: A wiki engine running on Node.js and written in JavaScript. It is an open source, modern and powerful wiki app based on Node.js, Git, and Markdown. It runs on the flamingly fast Node.js engine and is optimized to conserve CPU resources.

Swagger UI and Wiki.js can be primarily classified as "Documentation as a Service &" tools.

Some of the features offered by Swagger UI are:

The UI works in any development environment, be it locally or in the web
Allow end developers to effortlessly interact and try out every single operation your API exposes for easy consumption
Quickly find and work with resources and endpoints with neatly categorized documentation

On the other hand, Wiki.js provides the following key features:

Page Permissions
Authentication Backends
Host Blocking

Swagger UI and Wiki.js are both open source tools. Swagger UI with 16.1K GitHub stars and 6.85K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Wiki.js with 5.39K GitHub stars and 722 GitHub forks.
