Swagger offers more than just a user-friendly interface for exploring APIs. It also provides multiple generators that can produce code typically written by hand. As an Angular developer, this blog post will focus on the typescript-angular generator.

Failed to create a client for Java. The generator imports Java's types instead of TeamCity's. There are bugs described for the Java client in both the Swagger generator and the OpenAPI generator. Let's see how the generator behaves when building a Kotlin client.

[swagger-codegen](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen) generates code from an OpenAPI definition, and it supports Rust code output (client and/or server).

Swagger contains three greats tools to work with the specification: Swagger UI, Swagger Editor and Swagger Codegen. The Swagger UI renders OpenAPI specs as interactive API documentation, Swagger Editor is a browser-based editor where you can write OpenAPI specs and Swagger Codegen generates server stubs and client libraries from an OpenAPI spec like the OpenAPI generator.

We ran into some minor issues (#1201, #1210, #1355, #1356 and #1769) and fixed some stuff we stumbled upon along the way, although it didn't really bother us as well (#1451 and #1769).

I am interested in integrating a swagger-codegen generated Python server with an existing Flask application. swagger-codegen generates a Python implementation based on the Connexion library from a Swagger API specification.

The method takes a query, String, and a completion block, (Result<[String], Error>) -> Void, which is triggered once the request finishes. Its internal implementation doesn't really matter since it could be from an external framework or generated by a code generator from the API specification.

The Java codegen options are here: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/issues/7795 (believe it or not).

Creating TS types/interfaces manually can be tedious. But, if you have JSON responses of your APIs, you can quickly convert those JSON responses to TS interfaces using VS Code extension Paste JSON as Code. Also, if your backend already uses Swagger for API, you can auto-generate all the TS types of your API models using swagger-codegen

ReDoc Interactive Demo

ReDoc focuses on simplicity and readability, presenting the API documentation in a user-friendly format. It supports dark mode, multiple languages, and offers a seamless browsing experience for API consumers.

There are a few other tools out there that are at least marginally better than the default Swagger UI such as ReDoc (https://github.com/Redocly/redoc).

When we redid the Mux docs (https://docs.mux.com/api-reference) we actually just decided to build our own renderer. It really wasn't as bad as you might think, at build time we pull in the JSON version of our OAS spec and render it as a static build in our Nextjs app. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't trivial, but the benefit of having complete control over the output has been well worth it.

Redoc: http://localhost:8080/redoc

ReDoc is a tool that's similar to Swagger UI. It also takes an OAS and renders an interactive HTML page with full API documentation details; however, it has a notable difference.

Redoc is an open source tool to generate API reference documentation websites from OpenAPI definitions.

FastAPI for Python has an awesome way of doing this. It comes with two choices: Swagger and Redoc, the former being more interactive while the latter is (IMO) more visually appealing. I'm sure you could implement one of these using Spring.

Starlite has substantially enhanced OpenAPI (3.1) documentation - in fact, its the most complete autogenerated schema around, and it ships with Redoc, Swagger-UI and Stoplight-Elements static sites.
