Unable to get JSON file for swagger specification. #329

while integrating Swagger on other frameworks and languages we have seen that we get a link to JSON file on swagger UI, but while integrating swagger with express using swagger-ui-express and swagger-jsdoc libraries we don't get link to JSON file for the API documentation.
Some URL like {BASE_PAHT}:{PORT}/api-doc/swagger.json

If you want to serve the json file you can follow this example:

https://github.com/scottie1984/swagger-ui-express#link-to-swagger-document

It was the deliberate intention not to serve the JSON file.

Hey @scottie1984, this example works for setting up the endpoint to be able to get to it from typing the URL in to the browser, but it doesn't render anything on the page to be able to click to get to it.

Based on the docs it seems like the intended behavior is to render a clickable url like https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json shown here in the petstore example:

Is this a regression or intended behavior? And if it's intended do you know how to render a clickable link?
