| Languages/Frameworks | |
|---|---|
| API clients | ActionScript, Ada, Apex, Bash, C# (.net 2.0, 3.5 or later), C++ (cpprest, Qt5, Tizen), Clojure, Dart, Elixir, Elm, Eiffel, Erlang, Go, Groovy, Haskell (http-client, Servant), Java (Jersey1.x, Jersey2.x, OkHttp, Retrofit1.x, Retrofit2.x, Feign, RestTemplate, RESTEasy, Vertx, Google API Client Library for Java, Rest-assured), Kotlin, Lua, Node.js (ES5, ES6, AngularJS with Google Closure Compiler annotations) Objective-C, Perl, PHP, PowerShell, Python, R, Ruby, Rust (rust, rust-server), Scala (akka, http4s, scalaz, swagger-async-httpclient), Swift (2.x, 3.x, 4.x), Typescript (AngularJS, Angular (2.x - 6.x), Aurelia, Fetch, Inversify, jQuery, Node) |
| Server stubs | Ada, C# (ASP.NET Core, NancyFx), C++ (Pistache, Restbed), Erlang, Go, Haskell (Servant), Java (MSF4J, Spring, Undertow, JAX-RS: CDI, CXF, Inflector, RestEasy, Play Framework, PKMST), Kotlin, PHP (Lumen, Slim, Silex, Symfony, Zend Expressive), Python (Flask), NodeJS, Ruby (Sinatra, Rails5), Rust (rust-server), Scala (Finch, Lagom, Scalatra) |

The OpenAPI Specification has undergone 3 revisions since initial creation in 2010. The openapi-generator project has the following compatibilities with the OpenAPI Specification:
| OpenAPI Generator Version | Release Date | OpenAPI Spec compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.0.0 (upcoming major release) | TBD | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 | Major release with breaking changes (no fallback) |
| 3.1.0 (upcoming minor release) | TBD | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 | Minor release with breaking changes (with fallbacks) |
| 3.0.0 (current master, upcoming release) SNAPSHOT | TBD | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 | First release with breaking changes |
If you're looking for the latest stable version, you can grab it directly from Maven.org (Java 8 runtime at a minimum):
JAR location: http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/3.0.0/openapi-generator-cli-3.0.0.jar
For Mac/Linux users:
wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/3.0.0/openapi-generator-cli-3.0.0.jar -O openapi-generator-cli.jarFor Windows users, you will need to install wget or you can use Invoke-WebRequest in PowerShell (3.0+), e.g.
Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile openapi-generator-cli.jar http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/3.0.0/openapi-generator-cli-3.0.0.jar
After downloading the JAR, run java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar help to show the usage.
For Mac users, please make sure Java 8 is installed (Tips: run java -version to check the version), and export JAVA_HOME in order to use the supported Java version:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATHTo build from source, you need the following installed and available in your $PATH:
After cloning the project, you can build it from source with this command:
mvn clean installIf you don't have maven installed, you may directly use the included maven wrapper, and build with the command:
./mvnw clean installTo install, run brew install openapi-generator
Here is an example usage to generate a Ruby client:
openapi-generator generate -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml -l ruby -o /tmp/test/- https://hub.docker.com/r/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/ (official CLI)
- https://hub.docker.com/r/openapitools/openapi-generator-online/ (official web service)
The OpenAPI Generator image acts as a standalone executable. It can be used as an alternative to installing via homebrew, or for developers who are unable to install Java or upgrade the installed version.
To generate code with this image, you'll need to mount a local location as a volume.
Example:
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/local openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
-i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml \
-l go \
-o /local/out/goThe generated code will be located under ./out/go in the current directory.
The openapi-generator-online image can act as a self-hosted web application and API for generating code. This container can be incorporated into a CI pipeline, and requires at least two HTTP requests and some docker orchestration to access generated code.
Example usage:
# Start container at port 8888 and save the container id
> CID=$(docker run -d -p 8888:8080 -e GENERATOR_HOST=http://localhost:8888 openapitools/openapi-generator-online)
# allow for startup
> sleep 10
# Get the IP of the running container (optional)
GEN_IP=$(docker inspect --format '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' $CID)
# Execute an HTTP request to generate a Ruby client
> curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' \
-d '{"openAPIUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml"}' \
'http://localhost:8888/api/gen/clients/ruby'
{"code":"c2d483d3-3672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8","link":"http://localhost:8888/api/gen/download/c2d483d3-3672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8"}
# Download the generated zip file
> wget http://localhost:8888/api/gen/download/c2d483d3-3672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8
# Unzip the file
> unzip c2d483d3-3672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8
# Shutdown the openapi generator image
> docker stop $CID && docker rm $CIDYou can use run-in-docker.sh to do all development. This script maps your local repository to /gen
in the docker container. It also maps ~/.m2/repository to the appropriate container location.
To execute mvn package:
git clone https://github.com/openapitools/openapi-generator
cd openapi-generator
./run-in-docker.sh mvn packageBuild artifacts are now accessible in your working directory.
Once built, run-in-docker.sh will act as an executable for openapi-generator-cli. To generate code, you'll need to output to a directory under /gen (e.g. /gen/out). For example:
./run-in-docker.sh help # Executes 'help' command for openapi-generator-cli
./run-in-docker.sh langs # Executes 'langs' command for openapi-generator-cli
./run-in-docker.sh /gen/bin/go-petstore.sh # Builds the Go client
./run-in-docker.sh generate -i modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml \
-l go -o /gen/out/go-petstore -DpackageName=petstore # generates go client, outputs locally to ./out/go-petstorePrerequisite: install Vagrant and VirtualBox.
git clone http://github.com/openapitools/openapi-generator.git
cd openapi-generator
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
./run-in-docker.sh mvn packageTo generate a PHP client for petstore.yaml, please run the following
git clone https://github.com/openapitools/openapi-generator
cd openapi-generator
mvn clean package
java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate \
-i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml \
-l php \
-o /var/tmp/php_api_client(if you're on Windows, replace the last command with java -jar modules\openapi-generator-cli\target\openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml -l php -o c:\temp\php_api_client)
You can also download the JAR (latest release) directly from maven.org
To get a list of general options available, please run java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar help generate
To get a list of PHP specified options (which can be passed to the generator with a config file via the -c option), please run java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar config-help -l php
You can build a client against the Petstore API as follows:
./bin/java-petstore.sh(On Windows, run .\bin\windows\java-petstore.bat instead)
This will run the generator with this command:
java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate \
-i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml \
-l java \
-o samples/client/petstore/javawith a number of options. You can get the options with the help generate command (below only shows partial results):

OpenAPI Generator is a fork of Swagger Codegen. In view of the issues with the Swagger Codegen 3.0.0 (beta) release and the disagreement on the project's direction, more than 40 top contributors and template creators of Swagger Codegen decided to fork Swagger Codegen and maintain a community-driven version called "OpenAPI Generator". Please refer to the Q&A for more information.
