When should I pick Swagger UI?
Swagger UI is the original OpenAPI documentation solution that paved the way for other tools.
If you only want an OpenAPI reference, Swagger UI is a great choice. It does one thing well, and it's lightweight, easy to use, and can be embedded in your website.

Trusted by teams that care about their API documentation
Doctave powers the developer documentation of world-class API-first, developer tools, and cybersecurity companies
"Doctave has proven to be an ideal solution for our public API documentation"
Upvest had always pursued a documentation-as-code strategy, using an open-source static site generator, but we faced a challenge building a Git-driven system that could manage access to content for multiple API versions and audiences.
Doctave provides us that flexibility out-of-the-box whilst allowing us to maintain absolute control of our OpenAPI spec and documentation development processes.“
Geoffrey Teale
Head of Developer eXperience at Upvest
"Adopting Doctave as api.video's documentation platform was a game-changer"
The flexible content structure enabled us to organize our information more intuitively, while the ability to customize the design helped maintain the api.video branding.
Doctave’s out-of-the-box integration with popular analytics tools gave us the ability to track and understand user engagement with our documentation.
