ApiDeck: A Faster Way to Explore ASP.NET Core APIs

Ever opened Swagger on a large API and just waited… UI loading… scrolling lag… endpoints taking forever 😅

Swagger does the job, but on bigger projects it can start to feel heavy and slow — especially when all you want is a quick, clean view.

That daily frustration pushed me to build something lighter.

🚀** Meet ApiDeck.AspNetCore**

It generates a fast, lightweight API spec directly from ASP.NET Core metadata — no heavy UI, no lag. Just your APIs in a clean, structured format.

Setup is intentionally simple:

app.UseApideck();
That’s it.

📦** Why ApiDeck?**
• A lightweight alternative to Swagger UI
• Faster startup and API discovery
• Clean, structured API metadata output
• Built for modern ASP.NET Core

Install it in seconds:
dotnet add package ApiDeck.AspNetCore

👉 Try it out and let me know what you think! This is still evolving, and your feedback from real projects would be incredibly valuable.
