Overview

Swagger Codegen is an open-source tool designed to streamline the API development process by automating the generation of server stubs and client SDKs from OpenAPI Specifications (formerly known as Swagger). By converting API definitions into ready-to-use code across various programming languages, Swagger Codegen enables development teams to focus more on implementing and adopting APIs, reducing manual coding efforts and potential errors.

Features and Capabilities

• Multi-Language Support: Generates server stubs in over 20 languages, including Java, Scala, and Ruby, and client SDKs in over 40 languages, facilitating seamless integration with diverse development environments.
• OpenAPI Specification Compatibility: Fully supports OpenAPI 3.0, allowing users to describe APIs using the latest standards and automatically generate corresponding documentation.
• Workflow Integration: Easily integrates into existing CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated code generation during the build process to maintain up-to-date API clients and servers.
• Customization Options: Offers configurable templates, allowing developers to tailor the generated code to meet specific project requirements and coding standards.
• Active Community and Continuous Improvement: As an open-source project, Swagger Codegen benefits from regular updates and contributions, ensuring it stays current with the latest programming trends and language features.
• SwaggerHub Integration: Seamlessly integrates with SwaggerHub, providing a collaborative platform for API design and documentation, and enabling teams to move from design to development more efficiently.
