OpenAPI python generator is a modern way to generate clients for OpenAPI 3.0.0+ APIs. It provides a full Client, including pydantic models (providing type-safe data structures) and multiple supported frameworks.

The key features of the generator are:

• __Ease of use__. Provide input, output and the library, and the generator will do the rest.

• __Type safety and type hinting.__ __OpenAPI python generator__ makes heavy use of pydantic models to provide type-safe data structures.

• __Support for multiple rest frameworks.__ __OpenAPI python generator__ currently supports the following:

  • [httpx](https://pypi.org/project/httpx/)

  • [requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/)

• __Async and sync code generation support__, depending on the framework. It will automatically create both for frameworks that support both.

• __Easily extendable using Jinja2 templates__. The code is designed to be easily extendable and should support even more languages and frameworks in the future.

• __Fully tested__. Every generated code is automatically tested against the OpenAPI spec and we have 100% coverage.

• __Usage as CLI or as library__.
