Enhance Your .NET 8 API Documentation with Swagger and OpenAPI 🚀 #coding #dotnet #swagger #openapi

Learn how to enhance your .NET 8 APIs with Swagger and OpenAPI in this comprehensive tutorial! 🚀 We’ll start with a simple Books API and transform it into a fully documented, interactive API experience. You’ll see how to add Swagger support using Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi and Swashbuckle.AspNetCore packages and enable features like automatically generated OpenAPI metadata and an interactive UI at /swagger.

Discover how to make your endpoints developer-friendly by using .WithName() for unique operation IDs, .Produces() to document response formats, and .Accepts() to specify accepted content types. We’ll also group endpoints with .WithTags() to organize the Swagger UI and mark certain endpoints as deprecated or exclude them entirely from Swagger using .ExcludeFromDescription().

Additionally, we’ll show you how to tag endpoints for better organization—for example, grouping “Books” and “Authors” separately. This makes APIs easier to explore, test, and integrate.

If you’re a developer looking to make your APIs more accessible, discoverable, and integration-ready, this video is for you. Dive into the world of Swagger and OpenAPI with .NET 8, and let’s build better APIs together. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment below—your feedback matters!
