Swagger Viewer - v2.2.2

Swagger Viewer lets you preview and validate Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI files as you type in Visual Studio Code.

It works on swagger files in json and yaml format. Preview and validation happens in real time as you type.

  • Open the swagger file and press F1.
  • Run the Command Preview Swagger.

Preview will be automatically opened in default browser.

Change Default Port

Default port of the preview url can be changed by changing the Default Port value in User/Workspace Settings
