Question 1

How to customize the Redoc theme?

Accepted Answer

Redoc offers theme configuration via options passed during initialization; detailed settings are documented in the configuration guide, allowing changes to colors, fonts, and layout elements through JSON or JavaScript.

Question 2

Redoc vs Swagger UI: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Redoc excels in elegant, ready-to-use design with minimal setup and a clean three-panel layout, while Swagger UI provides built-in interactive testing. Choose Redoc for polished, static documentation and Swagger UI for hands-on API exploration and testing.

Question 3

How do I add code samples to my Redoc documentation?

Accepted Answer

Use the x-codeSamples vendor extension in your OpenAPI spec to specify code snippets for each operation; Redoc will display them in the side panel, as demonstrated in the features with a GIF example.

Question 4

Can Redoc handle OpenAPI 3.1 specifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Redoc fully supports OpenAPI 3.1 along with 3.0 and Swagger 2.0, making it suitable for the latest API standards, as confirmed in the key features section.

Question 5

Is there a way to test APIs directly in Redoc?

Accepted Answer

No, the open-source Redoc does not include a try-it console; for interactive testing, consider the paid Redocly API Reference or alternative tools like Swagger UI, as mentioned in the comparison section.

Question 6

How to deploy Redoc on a static site like GitHub Pages?

Accepted Answer

Use the CLI to generate a static HTML file (redoc-static.html) with npx @redocly/cli build-docs and upload it, or embed via CDN with the HTML element method, as outlined in the usage documentation.
