Swagger helps in creating Restful Api, I get that. Where would you use LoopBack, is this another tool for creating Rest api. LoopBack has support swagger 2.0. I am confused here, can they be used interchangeably.

Loopback is a highly extensible open-source Node. js framework that can be used to build dynamic end-to-end REST APIs. With little or no code, Loopback hands you the power to: Quickly create APIs. Connect your APIs to data sources such as relational databases, MongoDB, REST APIs, etc.
OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger Specification) is an API description format for REST APIs. An OpenAPI file allows you to describe your entire API, including: Available endpoints ( /users ) and operations on each endpoint ( GET /users , POST /users )
Swagger helps users build, document, test and consume RESTful web services. It can be used with both a top-down and bottom-up API development approach. In the top-down, or design-first, method, Swagger can be used to design an API before any code is written.
Swagger allows you to describe the structure of your APIs so that machines can read them. The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the root of all awesomeness in Swagger. Why is it so great? Well, by reading your API's structure, we can automatically build beautiful and interactive API documentation.
Swagger is a documentation framework. If you attach the appropriate annotations to your code, it produces a "live" documentation site that lets users see all your REST services in a visual way, including their request and response formats, with the ability to execute sample calls.
Loopback is a framework that helps you actually write the REST services themselves.
