如何更改Swagger响应的类型？

Question

I have a swagger API constructed that uses a POST endpoint to take in a JSON file and returns a valid JSON schema for that file.

However when the JSON schema is constructed and returned the string also contains escape character backslashes. For example the normally correct string of

{"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#"}

Will be returned as the following in Swagger API:

"{\"$schema\": \"http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#\"}

As you can see the backslashes that are included should not be there. The backslashes are used to escape the " character within C#, however when this data is returned as JSON it seems the escape characters are also being printed instead of parsed and removed.

Is there anyway I am able to change the response type of the Swagger endpoint so that this doesn't occur? There is a dropdown available in the UI that allows me to change the response type, but only application/json is available.

Swashbuckle.AspNetCore and Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger versions 3.0.0 are being used.

Answer 1

Are you returning a generic type for all api endpoint? Since you are using .Net Core why not use ProducesResponseType attribute and mention the type to return like

[ProducesResponseType(typeof(Your_Type))]
