How to open local files in Swagger-UI

Question

I\'m trying to open my self generated swagger specification file my.json with swagger-ui on my local computer.

So I downloaded the latest tag v2.1.8-M1

Answer 1

This is how I worked with local swagger JSON

1. Have tomcat running in local machine
2. Download Swagger UI application and unzip it into tomcat's /webapps/swagger folder
3. Drop local swagger json file inside /webapps/swagger folder of tomcat
4. Start up tomcat (/bin/sh startup.sh)
5. Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/swagger/
6. type your swagger json file in the Swagger Explore test box and this should render the APIs.

Hope this works for you
