I am a newbie to swagger and I have been trying to develop api's using swagger-editor.
Swagger-codegen states that is an open source code-generator to build server stubs and client SDKs directly from a Swagger defined RESTful API.
When I work with swagger-editor I can see options :Generate server and Generate Client (I am running swagger-editor locally)
Does swagger-codegen have the same functionality as Generate server and Generate Client in swagger-editor or is there anything more to it ?
Thanks in advance.
Swagger Editor: Swagger Editor lets you edit OpenAPI specifications in YAML inside your browser and to preview documentations in real time. Swagger UI: Swagger UI is a collection of HTML, Javascript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation from an OAS-compliant API.
Swagger Codegen is an open source project which allows generation of API client libraries (SDK generation), server stubs, and documentation automatically from an OpenAPI Specification.
The Swagger Editor is an open source editor to design, define and document HTTP-based and event-driven APIs using the OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications, respectively. Swagger Editor can be installed and run locally, or accessed on the Web.
Although the terms once referred to the same thing, they can no longer be used interchangeably…even though some people still do. In 2021, OpenAPI refers to the industry-standard specification for RESTful API design. Swagger refers to a set of SmartBear tools.
Swagger Editor uses the online version of Swagger Codegen that is hosted at http://generator.swagger.io. There are other ways to run Swagger Codegen, for example:
The main difference is that Swagger Editor calls the Codegen with the default options. If you want to customize the output, e.g. use a custom package name or custom codegen templates, you'll need to run the Codegen yourself.
