Why Use swagger-ui-express Alongside

#95

Why Add swagger-ui-express?
While provides a built-in Swagger UI, it is limited in terms of customization and features compared to the standalone package. Some of the main reasons to use swagger-ui-express in addition are:

Advanced UI Options: swagger-ui-express exposes more configuration options, such as enabling endpoint filtering, customizing layout, and other UI features.
Latest Features: The built-in UI in may not always be up to date with the latest Swagger UI features and bug fixes.
Separation of Concerns: Using swagger-ui-express allows you to separate the OpenAPI spec generation (handled by from the UI rendering (handled by swagger-ui-express), giving you more flexibility.
Filtering Limitation
A key limitation to be aware of is that the filtering feature in Swagger UI only works by tag when using the standard integration.
Even if you enable the filter option, the filter bar in Swagger UI will only filter endpoints by their assigned tags.
It does not filter by summary or path (endpoint URL or description) in this setup.
