OpenAPI

Xplorer has excellent support for OpenAPI and Swagger specifications. You should be able to make a successful API call in the shortest time possible. If you choose to use the MCP support, this can be AI assisted and you can even spin up a mock server.

As of now the support is "read only", and all versions of Swagger and OpenAPI are supported, including the different ways in which schemas and references can be defined. Authoring of OpenAPI specifications is on the roadmap.

Xplorer is a superior alternative to traditional HTML API documentation. You can quickly zoom in to parts of the spec without scrolling and the schema and documentation are shown side by size in a compact view. (See video)

Hear over to the Import tab and you can import from the file-system or a URL.

 

Now you can choose a path+method combination to inspect. With a very few clicks, you should be able to create a sample JSON and add it to Xplorer using the Add to Sequence button.

Note

Adding to Xplorer requires a paid subscription.

 

If your spec is rich with examples, you can select one of them to use directly by Add to Preview.

 

You can even select a single schema element and insert the example only for that if available.
