My experience of Golang is that dependency injection doesn't really have much benefit. It felt like a square peg in a round hole exercise when my team considered it. The team was almost exclusively Java/Typescript Devs so it was something that we thought we needed but I don't believe we actually missed once we decided to not pursue it.
If you are looking at OpenAPI in Golang I can recommend having a look at https://goa.design/. It's a DSL that generates OpenAPI specs and provides an implementation of the endpoints described. Can also generate gRPC from the same definitions.
We found this removed the need to write almost all of the API layer and a lot of the associated validation. We found the generated code including the server element to be production ready from the get go.
October is the month of Open Source and Keploy is taking part in this celebration. You can contribute to several Keploy projects by participating in this year’s Hacktoberfest. You can both contribute to the code part and the no-code part as well. Here are some contributions that you can make!
We have a repo/library called fasten-sources which is made up of mostly generated code (using dave/jennifer)
I wonder whether avo could have been useful here?[1] I mention it because it came up the last time we were talking about AVX operations in go.[2]

For json schema specifically there are some tools like go-jsonschema[1] but I've never used them personally. But you can use something like ffjson[2] in go to generate a static serialize/deserialize function based on a struct definition.
