If you only have one API to be built, you can save your specification anywhere and you don’t need any external references however, you might work for an organization which is building hundreds or thousands APIs and there are so many shared references between APIs like common headers, error status etc. Additional utilities can also take advantage of the resulting files, such as testing tools.
These files can then be used by the Swagger-UI project to display the API and Swagger-codegen to generate clients or servers in various languages. The Swagger specification defines a set of files required to describe an API. Swagger was created to help fulfill the promise of APIs and is 100% open source software. With a Swagger-enabled API, you get interactive documentation, client SDK generation and discoverability. With the largest ecosystem of API tooling on the planet, thousands of developers are supporting Swagger in almost every modern programming language and deployment environment. Swagger is a simple yet powerful representation of your RESTful API.
