Swagger With Static Documentation

Question

I am looking to use Swagger to document my restful interface. The problem is that I do not want to automatically generate my documentation by annotating my code. Basically I

Answer 1

I've created static json files for swagger before. The documentation is kinda lacking in describing the json required to get swagger to work.

If you look at their spec and look at their example petstore.json. You should be able to get a pretty good idea of how to structure your json.

Or look at my examples.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

main.json

{
    "apiVersion": "0.0.4542.22887",
    "swaggerVersion": "1.0",
    "basePath": "http://local.api.com/api/doc",
    "apis": [
        {
            "path": "/donuts",
            "description": "Operations about donuts"
        },
        {
            "path": "/cakes",
            "description": "Operations about cakes"
        },
        {
            "path": "/bagels",
            "description": "Operations about bagels"
        }
    ]

}

donuts.json
