The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
The Swagger specification is licensed under The Apache License, Version 2.0.
Swagger? is a project used to describe and document RESTful APIs.
The Swagger specification defines a set of files required to describe such an API. These files can then be used by the Swagger-UI project to display the API and Swagger-Codegen to generate clients in various languages. Additional utilities can also take advantage of the resulting files, such as testing tools.
Version | Date | Notes |
---|---|---|
2.0 | 2014-09-08 | Release of Swagger 2.0 |
1.2 | 2014-03-14 | Initial release of the formal document. |
1.1 | 2012-08-22 | Release of Swagger 1.1 |
1.0 | 2011-08-10 | First release of the Swagger Specification |
Path templating refers to the usage of curly braces ({}) to mark a section of a URL path as replaceable using path parameters.
Mime type definitions are spread across several resources. The mime type definitions should be in compliance with RFC 6838.
Some examples of possible mime type definitions:
text/plain; charset=utf-8
application/json
application/vnd.github+json
application/vnd.github.v3+json
application/vnd.github.v3.raw+json
application/vnd.github.v3.text+json
application/vnd.github.v3.html+json
application/vnd.github.v3.full+json
application/vnd.github.v3.diff
application/vnd.github.v3.patch
The HTTP Status Codes are used to indicate the status of the executed operation. The available status codes are described by RFC 7231 and in the IANA Status Code Registry.
The files describing the RESTful API in accordance with the Swagger specification are represented as JSON objects and conform to the JSON standards. YAML, being a superset of JSON, can be used as well to represent a Swagger specification file.
For example, if a field is said to have an array value, the JSON array representation will be used:
{
"field" : [...]
}
While the API is described using JSON it does not impose a JSON input/output to the API itself.
All field names in the specification are case sensitive.
The schema exposes two types of fields. Fixed fields, which have a declared name, and Patterned fields, which declare a regex pattern for the field name. Patterned fields can have multiple occurrences as long as each has a unique name.
The Swagger representation of the API is made of a single file. However, parts of the definitions can be split into separate files, at the discretion of the user. This is applicable for $ref
fields in the specification as follows from the JSON Schemadefinitions.
By convention, the Swagger specification file is named swagger.json
.
Primitive data types in the Swagger Specification are based on the types supported by the JSON-Schema Draft 4. Models are described using the Schema Object which is a subset of JSON Schema Draft 4.
An additional primitive data type "file"
is used by the Parameter Object and the Response Object to set the parameter type or the response as being a file.
Primitives have an optional modifier property format
. Swagger uses several known formats to more finely define the data type being used. However, the format
property is an open string
-valued property, and can have any value to support documentation needs. Formats such as "email"
, "uuid"
, etc., can be used even though they are not defined by this specification. Types that are not accompanied by a format
property follow their definition from the JSON Schema (except for file
type which is defined above). The formats defined by the Swagger Specification are:
Common Name | type | format | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
integer | integer |
int32 |
signed 32 bits |
long | integer |
int64 |

This is the root document object for the API specification. It combines what previously was the Resource Listing and API Declaration (version 1.2 and earlier) together into one document.
Field Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
swagger | string |
Required. Specifies the Swagger Specification version being used. It can be used by the Swagger UI and other clients to interpret the API listing. The value MUST be "2.0" . |
info | Info Object | Required. Provides metadata about the API. The metadata can be used by the clients if needed. |
host | string |
The host (name or ip) serving the API. This MUST be the host only and does not include the scheme nor sub-paths. It MAY include a port. If the host is not included, the host serving the documentation is to be used (including the port). The host does not support path templating. |
basePath | string |
The base path on which the API is served, which is relative to the host . If it is not included, the API is served directly under the host . The value MUST start with a leading slash (/ ). The basePath does not support path templating. |
schemes | [string ] |
The transfer protocol of the API. Values MUST be from the list: "http" , "https" , "ws" , "wss" . If the schemes is not included, the default scheme to be used is the one used to access the Swagger definition itself. |
consumes | [string ] |
A list of MIME types the APIs can consume. This is global to all APIs but can be overridden on specific API calls. Value MUST be as described under Mime Types. |
produces | [string ] |
A list of MIME types the APIs can produce. This is global to all APIs but can be overridden on specific API calls. Value MUST be as described under Mime Types. |
paths | Paths Object | Required. The available paths and operations for the API. |
definitions | Definitions Object | An object to hold data types produced and consumed by operations. |
parameters | Parameters Definitions Object | An object to hold parameters that can be used across operations. This property does notdefine global parameters for all operations. |
responses | Responses Definitions Object | An object to hold responses that can be used across operations. This property does notdefine global responses for all operations. |
securityDefinitions | Security Definitions Object | Security scheme definitions that can be used across the specification. |
security | [Security Requirement Object] | A declaration of which security schemes are applied for the API as a whole. The list of values describes alternative security schemes that can be used (that is, there is a logical OR between the security requirements). Individual operations can override this definition. |
tags | [Tag Object] | A list of tags used by the specification with additional metadata. The order of the tags can be used to reflect on their order by the parsing tools. Not all tags that are used by the Operation Object must be declared. The tags that are not declared may be organized randomly or based on the tools‘ logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique. |
externalDocs | External Documentation Object | Additional external documentation. |
Field Pattern | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
^x- | Any | Allows extensions to the Swagger Schema. The field name MUST begin with x- , for example, x-internal-id . The value can be null , a primitive, an array or an object. See Vendor Extensions for further details. |

description: Find more info here
url: https://swagger.io
Describes a single operation parameter.
A unique parameter is defined by a combination of a name and location.
There are five possible parameter types.
/items/{itemId}
, the path parameter is itemId
./items?id=###
, the query parameter is id
.application/x-www-form-urlencoded
, multipart/form-data
or both are used as the content type of the request (in Swagger‘s definition, the consumes
property of an operation). This is the only parameter type that can be used to send files, thus supporting the file
type. Since form parameters are sent in the payload, they cannot be declared together with a body parameter for the same operation. Form parameters have a different format based on the content-type used (for further details, consult http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4):
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- Similar to the format of Query parameters but as a payload. For example, foo=1&bar=swagger
- both foo
and bar
are form parameters. This is normally used for simple parameters that are being transferred.multipart/form-data
- each parameter takes a section in the payload with an internal header. For example, for the header Content-Disposition: form-data; name="submit-name"
the name of the parameter is submit-name
. This type of form parameters is more commonly used for file transfers.Field Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
name | string |
Required. The name of the parameter. Parameter names are case sensitive.
|
in | string |
Required. The location of the parameter. Possible values are "query", "header", "path", "formData" or "body". |
description | string |
A brief description of the parameter. This could contain examples of use. GFM syntax can be used for rich text representation. |
required | boolean |
Determines whether this parameter is mandatory. If the parameter is in "path", this property is requiredand its value MUST be true . Otherwise, the property MAY be included and its default value is false . |
If in
is "body"
:
Field Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
schema | Schema Object | Required. The schema defining the type used for the body parameter. |
If in
is any value other than "body"
:
Field Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
type | string |
Required. The type of the parameter. Since the parameter is not located at the request body, it is limited to simple types (that is, not an object). The value MUST be one of "string" , "number" , "integer" , "boolean" , "array" or "file" . If type is "file" , the consumes MUST be either "multipart/form-data" , " application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or both and the parameter MUST be in "formData" . |
format | string |
The extending format for the previously mentioned type . See Data Type Formats for further details. |
allowEmptyValue | boolean |
Sets the ability to pass empty-valued parameters. This is valid only for either query or formData parameters and allows you to send a parameter with a name only or an empty value. Default value is false . |
items | Items Object | Required if type is "array". Describes the type of items in the array. |
collectionFormat | string |
Determines the format of the array if type array is used. Possible values are:
csv . |
default | * | Declares the value of the parameter that the server will use if none is provided, for example a "count" to control the number of results per page might default to 100 if not supplied by the client in the request. (Note: "default" has no meaning for required parameters.) See http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html#anchor101.

A container for the expected responses of an operation. The container maps a HTTP response code to the expected response. It is not expected from the documentation to necessarily cover all possible HTTP response codes, since they may not be known in advance. However, it is expected from the documentation to cover a successful operation response and any known errors.
The default

The Schema Object allows the definition of input and output data types. These types can be objects, but also primitives and arrays. This object is based on the JSON Schema Specification Draft 4 and uses a predefined subset of it. On top of this subset, there are extensions provided by this specification to allow for more complete documentation.
Further information about the properties can be found in JSON Schema Core and JSON Schema Validation. Unless stated otherwise, the property definitions follow the JSON Schema specification as referenced here.
The following properties are taken directly from the JSON Schema definition and follow the same specifications:
The following properties are taken from the JSON Schema definition but their definitions were adjusted to the Swagger Specification. Their definition is the same as the one from JSON Schema, only where the original definition references the JSON Schema definition, the Schema Object definition is used instead.
Other than the JSON Schema subset fields, the following fields may be used for further schema documentation.
Field Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
discriminator | string |
Adds support for polymorphism. The discriminator is the schema property name that is used to differentiate between other schema that inherit this schema. The property name used MUST be defined at this schema and it MUST be in the required property list. When used, the value MUST be the name of this schema or any schema that inherits it. |
readOnly | boolean |
Relevant only for Schema "properties" definitions. Declares the property as "read only". This means that it MAY be sent as part of a response but MUST NOT be sent as part of the request. Properties marked as readOnly being true SHOULD NOT be in the required list of the defined schema. Default value is false . |
xml | XML Object | This MAY be used only on properties schemas. It has no effect on root schemas. Adds Additional metadata to describe the XML representation format of this property. |
externalDocs | External Documentation Object | Additional external documentation for this schema. |
example | Any | A free-form property to include an example of an instance for this schema. |
Field Pattern | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
^x- | Any | Allows extensions to the Swagger Schema. The field name MUST begin with x- , for example, x-internal-id . The value can be null , a primitive, an array or an object. See Vendor Extensions for further details. |
Swagger allows combining and extending model definitions using the allOf
property of JSON Schema, in effect offering model composition. allOf
takes in an array of object definitions that are validated independently but together compose a single object.
While composition offers model extensibility, it does not imply a hierarchy between the models. To support polymorphism, Swagger adds the support of the discriminator
field. When used, the discriminator
will be the name of the property used to decide which schema definition is used to validate the structure of the model. As such, the discriminator
field MUST be a required field. The value of the chosen property has to be the friendly name given to the model under the definitions
property. As such, inline schema definitions, which do not have a given id, cannot be used in polymorphism.
The xml property allows extra definitions when translating the JSON definition to XML. The XML Object contains additional information about the available options.
Unlike previous versions of Swagger, Schema definitions can be used to describe primitive and arrays as well.

A metadata object that allows for more fine-tuned XML model definitions.
When using arrays, XML element names are not inferred (for singular/plural forms) and the name
property should be used to add that information. See examples for expected behavior.
Field Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
name | string |
Replaces the name of the element/attribute used for the described schema property. When defined within the Items Object (items ), it will affect the name of the individual XML elements within the list. When defined alongside type being array (outside the items ), it will affect the wrapping element and only if wrapped is true . If wrapped is false , it will be ignored. |
namespace | string |
The URL of the namespace definition. Value SHOULD be in the form of a URL. |
prefix | string |
The prefix to be used for the name. |
attribute | boolean |
Declares whether the property definition translates to an attribute instead of an element. Default value is false . |
wrapped | boolean |
MAY be used only for an array definition. Signifies whether the array is wrapped (for example, <books><book/><book/></books> ) or unwrapped (<book/><book/> ). Default value is false . The definition takes effect only when defined alongside type being array (outside the items ). |
Field Pattern | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
^x- | Any | Allows extensions to the Swagger Schema. The field name MUST begin with x- , for example, x-internal-id . The value can be null , a primitive, an array or an object. See Vendor Extensions for further details. |
The examples of the XML object definitions are included inside a property definition of a Schema Object with a sample of the XML representation of it.
Basic string property:
{
"animals": {
"type": "string"
}
}
animals:

<animals>...</animals>
Basic string array property (wrapped
is false
by default):
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:

Changing the element names:
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"xml": {
"name": "animal"
}
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:
type: string
xml:
name: animal
<animal>value</animal>
<animal>value</animal>
The external name
property has no effect on the XML:
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"xml": {
"name": "animal"
}
},
"xml": {
"name": "aliens"
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:
type: string
xml:
name: animal
xml:
name: aliens
<animal>value</animal>
<animal>value</animal>
Even when the array is wrapped, if no name is explicitly defined, the same name will be used both internally and externally:
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
},
"xml": {
"wrapped": true
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:
type: string
xml:
wrapped: true
<animals>
<animals>value</animals>
<animals>value</animals>
</animals>
To overcome the above example, the following definition can be used:
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"xml": {
"name": "animal"
}
},
"xml": {
"wrapped": true
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:
type: string
xml:
name: animal
xml:
wrapped: true
<animals>
<animal>value</animal>
<animal>value</animal>
</animals>
Affecting both internal and external names:
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"xml": {
"name": "animal"
}
},
"xml": {
"name": "aliens",
"wrapped": true
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:
type: string
xml:
name: animal
xml:
name: aliens
wrapped: true
<aliens>
<animal>value</animal>
<animal>value</animal>
</aliens>
If we change the external element but not the internal ones:
{
"animals": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
},
"xml": {
"name": "aliens",
"wrapped": true
}
}
}
animals:
type: array
items:
type: string
xml:
name: aliens
wrapped: true
<aliens>
<aliens>value</aliens>
<aliens>value</aliens>
</aliens>

While the Swagger Specification tries to accommodate most use cases, additional data can be added to extend the specification at certain points.
The extensions properties are always prefixed by "x-"
and can have any valid JSON format value.
The extensions may or may not be supported by the available tooling, but those may be extended as well to add requested support (if tools are internal or open-sourced).
Some objects in the Swagger specification may be declared and remain empty, or completely be removed, even though they are inherently the core of the API documentation.
The reasoning behind it is to allow an additional layer of access control over the documentation itself. While not part of the specification itself, certain libraries may choose to allow access to parts of the documentation based on some form of authentication/authorization.
Two examples for this:
