FAQ
How does Redocly handle different API specification formats?
Redocly functions by ingesting your existing OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specification files to generate a structured, interactive documentation portal. It visualizes endpoints, models, and security requirements automatically. Users should verify whether their specific version of the OpenAPI spec is fully supported and evaluate the tool's ability to handle custom extensions or complex nested schemas during the documentation generation process.
