With 50+ client generators, you can easily generate code to interact with any server which exposes an OpenAPI document. Maintainers of APIs may also automatically generate and distribute clients as part of official SDKs. Each client supports different options and features, but all templates can be replaced with your own Mustache-based templates. Getting started with server development can be tough, especially if you're evaluating technologies. We can reduce the burden when you bring your own OpenAPI document. Some generators support Inversion of Control, allowing you to iterate on design via your OpenAPI document without worrying about blowing away your entire domain layer when you regenerate code. Ever wanted to iteratively design a MySQL database, but writing table declarations was too tedious? OpenAPI documents allow you to convert the metadata about your API into some other format.

This is a new code repository for SchemaSpy tool initially created and maintained by John Currier. I personally believe that work on SchemaSpy should be continued, and a lot of still existing issues should be resolved. Last released version of the SchemaSpy was in 2010, and I have a plan to change this. Process of installation is very simple because SchemaSpy is only one Java .jar application. You can learn more read the installation doc. When you environment will be ready, and you can start using SchemaSpy you can read more about the configuration. Browse some sample pages generated by SchemaSpy. Note that this was run against an extremely limited schema so it doesn't show the full power of the tool.

Swagger-Codegen contains a template-driven engine to generate documentation, API clients and server stubs in different languages by parsing your OpenAPI / Swagger definition. Simplify API development for users, teams, and enterprises with the Swagger open source and professional toolset. Find out how Swagger can help you design and document your APIs at scale. The power of Swagger tools starts with the OpenAPI Specification, the industry standard for RESTful API design. Individual tools to create, update and share OpenAPI definitions with consumers. SwaggerHub is the platform solution to support OpenAPI workflows at scale. Swagger open source and pro tools have helped millions of API developers, teams, and organizations deliver great APIs. If the OpenAPI/Swagger spec is obtained from an untrusted source, please make sure you've reviewed the spec before using Swagger Codegen to generate the API client, server stub or documentation as code injection may occur.

A smart and simple plugin that provides keyboard shortcut access for Dash, Velocity or Zeal in IntelliJ IDEA, RubyMine, WebStorm, PhpStorm, PyCharm and Android Studio. To install the plugin in your IDE go to Preferences -> Plugins -> Browse repositories and search for "Dash". The default shortcut assigned to smart-search is Cmd-Shift-D (Mac OS X) or Ctrl-Shift-D (Windows, Linux). A menubar command named "Smart-Search Documentation" can be found in the "Tools" menu. The plugin either searches for the statement at caret position or the current selection. It will identify the programming language in use and request filtered results accordingly. A non filtered search over all documentation entries can be invoked by adding the Alt modifier key to the shortcut. "Search all Documentation" is also available in the tools menu.
