Scalar.AspNetCore

Historical Context

Historically, OpenAPI generators like Swashbuckle and NSwag have provided an "all-in-one" solution, bundling both the documentation generation and a UI.

With the release of .NET 9, Microsoft introduced a new OpenAPI generator, Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi, that focuses solely on the generation aspect, without including a built-in UI. This shift has created a gap for developers who previously relied on the integrated UI.

Scalar.AspNetCore

Scalar.AspNetCore is designed to bridge this gap by offering beautiful API Reference documentation. It provides a robust and customizable interface that enhances the usability and presentation of your API documentation.
