Can Swagger.io be used for normal java library?

Can we used swagger.io for normal java library? or its only for REST APIs?

    Hello ecstasy1857 

     

    Swagger is meant to work based on a OpenAPI specification. But certainly it can be used as a library, it's just up to you.

    Hi ecstasy1857,

     

    OpenAPI Specification and Swagger tools are designed for REST APIs only.

     

    To document arbitrary Java libraries, you can use Javadoc, Doxygen, DocFX, or similar tools.
