About:
CreateAPI is a Swift code generator that transforms OpenAPI specifications into native, idiomatic Swift client code. It produces clean, type-safe, and modern APIs that integrate seamlessly with Foundation and Swift concurrency features. This tool significantly reduces boilerplate and manual errors when building API clients.

Key Features:

Generates modern Swift code with async/await support
Highly customizable via a `.createapi.yaml` configuration file
Produces type-safe models and paths for compile-time safety
Zero runtime dependencies for generated code

Use Cases:

Generating a Swift SDK for your internal or external REST API
Automating client updates to keep in sync with OpenAPI spec changes
Reducing manual coding effort and potential errors in API integration

Alternatives:

OpenAPI Generator – More language support but often produces more verbose and less idiomatic Swift code.
Swagger Codegen – Older generator with less focus on modern Swift features and conventions.
