    I wonder if there is a format for API -> client automation that can be good enough, in the end Stripe have a rest API, with enough description it should be possible.

    Okay so after a quick google it appears Microsoft are the "Simpsons already done it" of the programming world: https://github.com/Azure/autorest/

    It'd probably be a good idea to add an Elixir backend for that and point it at Stripe's API here: https://github.com/stripe/openapi

  • Generating docs from OpenAPI Spec

    Our specs were split between several YAML spec files. It looked like a good idea when we did that - large files are not fun to work with. The problem is that very little in the OpenAPI ecosystem was built for multiple files. I strongly recommend that you will save yourself the pain and go the mono-file route. If Stripe can have a 4.5MB spec file, so can we.
