NSwag is a Swagger 2.0 API (OpenAPI) toolchain for .NET, Web API, TypeScript (jQuery, AngularJS, Angular 2+, Aurelia, KnockoutJS, and more) and other platforms, written in C#. The Swagger specification uses JSON and JSON Schema to describe a RESTful web API. The NSwag project provides tools to generate Swagger specifications from existing ASP.NET Web API controllers and client code from these Swagger specifications.

**This NPM module requires Full .NET Framework 4.6.2+ or .NET 6.0+ to be installed on your system!**

    nswag version /runtime:NetCore

To specify what .NET Core binaries to execute, either use (default, .NET 8.0)

    nswag version /runtime:Net80

or for .NET 9.0:

    nswag version /runtime:Net90

or for .NET 10.0:

    nswag version /runtime:Net100
