OAS and Swagger

You can’t talk OAS without talking Swagger. The Swagger project from SmartBear was the original foundation of the OAS, consisting of the Swagger Specification and the Swagger tools. The Swagger Community is leading the charge on building tools to fully leverage the power of the OAS across the API lifecycle.
