Add D to OpenAPI client / server generator

[andre2007]

Description

OpenAPI enables you to generate http client and/or http server coding based on an API specification. A lot of programming languages (see here https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/tree/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/languages) are supported except D. For example the automatically generated C client api for Kubenetes (using libcurl) https://github.com/kubernetes-client/c.

OpenAPI has a huge ecosystem:
https://openapi.tools/

What are rough milestones of this project?

• Add http client generator for D and std.curl
• Add http client generator for D and vibe.d http client
• Add http server generator for D and vibe.d http server

How does this project help the D community?

Developers do not need to write http client boiler code from hand but can just automatically create the needed code.
(Generated Kubernetes C http client api is thousands of lines long).

If you want to create a vibe.d http server application you can create the coding from an API specification.

Recommended skills
