# Scalar (https://devrel.directory/directory/scalar)

Open-source API reference and documentation tool that renders OpenAPI specs into interactive docs, with SDKs and API registry.

Renders OpenAPI specs into modern, themable reference docs with an integrated API client for trying requests, embeddable in existing sites or hosted on its platform. The core is open source, with offline-capable client apps alongside. A fresh alternative to the incumbent reference renderers.
