Swagger UI vs zeroheight: What are the differences?

Swagger UI: A Collection of HTML, Javascript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation. Swagger UI is a dependency-free collection of HTML, Javascript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation and sandbox from a Swagger-compliant API; zeroheight: UX design docs that stay up-to-date. Document your design system, together. Create beautiful living styleguides and document all your design system resources in one place.

Swagger UI and zeroheight can be primarily classified as "Documentation as a Service &" tools.

Some of the features offered by Swagger UI are:

  • The UI works in any development environment, be it locally or in the web
  • Allow end developers to effortlessly interact and try out every single operation your API exposes for easy consumption
  • Quickly find and work with resources and endpoints with neatly categorized documentation

On the other hand, zeroheight provides the following key features:

  • Sync with your favorite design tools
  • Add interactive HTML and Storybook code
  • Write, embed and organize content

From a StackShare Community member: "I just started working for a start-up and we are in desperate need of better documentation for our API. Currently our API docs is in a README.md file. We are evaluating Postman and Swagger UI. Since there are many options and I was wondering what other StackSharers would recommend?"

I use Postman because of the ease of team-management, using workspaces and teams, runner, collections, environment variables, test-scripts (post execution), variable management (pre and post execution), folders (inside collections, for better management of APIs), newman, easy-ci-integration (and probably a few more things that I am not able to recall right now).

I use Swagger UI because it's an easy tool for end-consumers to visualize and test our APIs. It focuses on that ! And it's directly embedded and delivered with the APIs. Postman's built-in tools aren't bad, but their main focus isn't the documentation and also, they are hosted outside the project.

      Postman

      jsdoc
      JSDoc 3 is an API documentation generator for JavaScript, similar to JavaDoc or PHPDoc. You add documentation comments directly to your source code, right along side the code itself. The JSDoc Tool will scan your source code, and generate a complete HTML documentation website for you.
      Apiary
      It takes more than a simple HTML page to thrill your API users. The right tools take weeks of development. Weeks that apiary.io saves.
      Docusaurus
      Docusaurus is a project for easily building, deploying, and maintaining open source project websites.
      Gitbook
      It is a modern documentation platform where teams can document everything from products, to APIs and internal knowledge-bases. It is a place to think and track ideas for you & your team.
