OpenAPI/Swagger-generated API Reference Documentation
- Extremely easy deployment
- It’s free and open-source project under MIT license
- The widest OpenAPI features support (yes, it supports even discriminator)
- Neat documentation for nested objects
- Code samples support (via vendor extension)
- Responsive three-panel design with menu/scrolling synchronization
- Integrate API introduction into side menu - ReDoc takes advantage of markdown headings from OpenAPI description field. It pulls them into side menu and also supports deep linking.
- docs pre-rendering (performance and SEO)
- ability to simple customization
- built-in API Console

<script src="bower_components/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script>For npm:
<script src="node_modules/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script><redoc spec-url="url/to/your/spec"></redoc>ReDoc makes use of the following vendor extensions:
x-logo- is used to specify API logox-traitTag- useful for handling out common things like Pagination, Rate-Limits, etcx-code-samples- specify operation code samples
spec-url- relative or absolute url to your spec file;scroll-y-offset- If set, specifies a vertical scroll-offset. This is often useful when there are fixed positioned elements at the top of the page, such as navbars, headers etc;scroll-y-offsetcan be specified in various ways:- number: A fixed number of pixels to be used as offset;
- selector: selector of the element to be used for specifying the offset. The distance from the top of the page to the element's bottom will be used as offset;
- function: A getter function. Must return a number representing the offset (in pixels);
suppress-warnings- if set, warnings are not rendered at the top of documentation (they still are logged to the console).
Instead of adding spec-url attribute to the <redoc> element you can initialize ReDoc via globally exposed Redoc object:
Redoc.init(specUrl, options)options is javascript object with camel-cased version of <redoc> tag attribute names as the keys, e.g.:
Redoc.init('http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json', {
scrollYOffset: 50
