Today, Wordnik officially announced Swagger, a specification and framework for building interactive API documentation and sandboxes. The Swagger UI allows developers and non-developers to interact with an API and see how the API responds to different commands and parameters. It's based on the technology that powers Wordnik's own interactive API documentation and can work with both JSON and XML-based APIs.

You can find it in GitHub.

We just came across Wordnik, a very cool alternative to traditional dictionary sites like Dictionary.com or Merriam-Webster's web site. On one page, Wordnik displays a word's definition, pronunciation, synonyms, antonyms, a word's etymology, and stats about how often a word was used. Registered users can also add their own lists of synonyms and related words to the site (registration is free). The site's design could still use a bit of refinement, but in terms of its features, Wordnik comes close to beating out most other traditional dictionary sites.
