How do you generate a swagger yaml file instead of json?

It's not clear to me how to generate a yaml file, instead of a json file. Is that possible, or do I need a converter?

Seems like the json format is the only output available.
The online editor offers a quick JSON to YAML conversion though.

Can you elaborate on your need for a YAML file instead of JSON? I believe anything that reads YAML should read JSON.

It's been a while since I made this issue, and I've since moved on. My recollection is that our overall swagger file is YAML, and I wanted to embed the swagger generation from the grpc-gateway tool into the larger rest api, and the JSON was problematic for that purpose. The pattern I'm working with is a rest api proxying to multiple gRPC services. I was hoping to do some sort of auto-embedding, but have since given up on the notion, at least for now.

JSON is a strict subset of YAML so your YAML parser should be able to just read this for whenever you get back around to it. If you have problems feel free to reopen/open a new issue.
