Can Swagger.io be used for normal java library?

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

Thanks!

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.
