About:
Kiota is a lightweight, fast, and scalable OpenAPI-based HTTP client code generator. It produces strongly-typed, readable client libraries for various languages by scanning API definitions. This streamlines API integration, reduces boilerplate code, and improves developer productivity.
Key Features:
  • Generates strongly-typed, idiomatic client code
  • Supports multiple languages (C#, Java, TypeScript, Go, Python, etc.)
  • Lightweight and fast with minimal dependencies
  • Extensible architecture for customizations
Use Cases:
  • Generating type-safe SDKs for internal or external REST APIs
  • Automating client library updates based on API spec changes
  • Reducing boilerplate for API consumption in large codebases
Alternatives:
  • OpenAPI Generator – Kiota is designed to be lighter and faster, generating code that is easier to read and customize compared to the often monolithic output of OpenAPI Generator.
  • Swagger Codegen – Similar functionality but Kiota focuses on a more modern, modular approach with better performance and maintainability.
