Welcome to Supernova Services! In this article, we dive deep into the differences between .NET 8 and .NET 9 when it comes to creating Web APIs.
In .NET 9, Swagger support is not available out-of-the-box. But don't worry! Iβll show you step-by-step how to add both Swagger and Scalar support manually.

Swagger is a set of tools built around OpenAPI. Originally, OpenAPI was called the "Swagger Specification."
Swagger tools include:
Scalar is a modern, elegant API reference UI tool that works with OpenAPI specifications. It offers a clean, beautiful, and feature-rich interface and can even generate client codes easily!
With the rapid evolution of .NET versions, staying updated is key. Learning how to configure and work with Swagger and Scalar manually in .NET 9 gives you an edge in building professional-grade APIs.
