Jane's story

Initially this project was born here at the dark ages were no one was supporting Typescript (Official Swagger generator had a lame alpha one). It was mostly built by night in an urge to get what we needed. It then evolved in to something better but still not that much extensible and tied to gulp. When we faced the need to support CSharp and Unity.

The fair question one might ask is "Why write another OpenApi/Swagger generator today" when there is plenty of alternative and official swagger generator has become much more easy to use thanks to docker.

  • Extensibility based on a template language we like e.g. handlebars. Popular and nice tools such as Autorest or NSwag would rely on T4 which we don't appreciate that much and are a Visual Studio thing.
  • Optimized support for frameworks
    • An easy to use client for angular 1.5 will not be the same as a good one targeting Angular 2 or Node.
  • Because we want to provide continuity for our previous developments
