We created Swagger to help fulfill the promise of APIs. 20 > 21 > Swagger helps companies like Apigee, Getty Images, Intuit, LivingSocial, McKesson, Microsoft, Morningstar, and PayPal build the best possible services with RESTful APIs. Now in version 2.0, Swagger is more enabling than ever. And it's 100% open source software. 22 23 ## Features 24 `go-swagger` brings to the go community a complete suite of fully-featured, high-performance, API components to work with a Swagger API: server, client and data model. 25 26 * Generates a server from a swagger specification 27 * Generates a client from a swagger specification 28 * Supports most features offered by jsonschema and swagger, including polymorphism 29 * Generates a swagger specification from annotated go code 30 * Additional tools to work with a swagger spec 31 * Great customization features, with vendor extensions and customizable templates 32 33 Our focus with code generation is to produce idiomatic, fast go code, which plays nice with golint, go vet etc. 34 35 ## Project status 36 `go-swagger` is now feature complete and has stabilized its API. 37 38 Most features and building blocks are now in a stable state, with a rich set of CI tests. 39 40 The go-openapi community actively continues bringing fixes and enhancements to this code base. 41 42 There is still much room for improvement: contributors and PR's are welcome. You may also get in touch with maintainers on [our slack channel](https://slackin.goswagger.io). 43 44 ## Documentation 45 <https://goswagger.io> 46 47 ## FAQ 48 Q&A contributed by the community: 49 50 <https://goswagger.io/faq/> 51 52 ## How is this different from go generator in swagger-codegen? 53 **tl;dr** The main difference at this moment is that this one actually works... 54 55 The swagger-codegen project only generates a _workable_ go client and even there it will only support flat models. 56 Further, the go server generated by swagger-codegen is mostly a stub. 57 58 > **Motivation** 59 > Why is this not done as a part of the swagger-codegen project? Because: 60 > 61 > * I don't really know java very well and so I'd be learning both java and the object model of the codegen which was in heavy flux as opposed to doing go and I really wanted to go experience of designing a large codebase with it. 62 > * Go's super limited type system makes it so that it doesn't fit well in the model of swagger-codegen 63 > * Go's idea of polymorphism doesn't reconcile very well with a solution designed for languages that actually have inheritance and so forth. 64 > * For supporting types like `[][][]map[string][][]int64` I don't think it's possible with mustache 65 > 66 > I gravely underestimated the amount of work that would be involved in making something useful out of it. 67 > My personal mission: I want the jvm to go away, it was great way back when now it's just silly (vm in container on vm in vm in container) 68 69 ## What's inside?

Just like swagger, this does not cover code generated by the toolkit. That code is entirely yours to license however you see fit. 194 195 196 [![FOSSA Status](https://app.fossa.io/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fgo-swagger%2Fgo-swagger.svg?type=large)](https://app.fossa.io/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fgo-swagger%2Fgo-swagger?ref=badge_large) 197 198 ## Who is using this project? 199 200 To name but a few... (feel free to sign in there if you are using this project): 201 202 > In the list below, we tried to figure out the public repos where you'll find examples on how to use `go-swagger` and `go-openapi`: 203 204 [3DSIM](https://github.com/3DSIM) 205 [Alibaba PouchAPI](https://github.com/alibaba/pouch) 206 [CheckR](https://github.com/checkr/flagr) 207 [Cilium](https://github.com/cilium/cilium) 208 [CoreOS](https://github.com/coreos/go-quay) 209 [NetBox Community](https://github.com/netbox-community/go-netbox) 210 [EVE Central](https://github.com/evecentral) 211 Iron.io 212 [JaegerTracing](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger) 213 [Kubernetes-Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes-helm/monocular) 214 [Kubernetes](https://godoc.org/k8s.io/apiextensions-apiserver/pkg/apiserver) 215 [ManifoldCo](https://github.com/manifoldco) 216 [Metaparticle.io](https://github.com/metaparticle-io/metaparticle-ast) 217 [Netlify](https://github.com/netlify/open-api) 218 [Nutanix](https://github.com/nutanix) 219 [OAS2](https://github.com/hypnoglow/oas2) 220 [OVH API](https://github.com/appscode/go-ovh) 221 [RackHD](https://github.com/RackHD/RackHD) 222 [ScaleFT](https://github.com/authclub/billforward) 223 [StratoScale](https://github.com/Stratoscale/swagger) 224 [Terraform Provider OpenAPI](https://github.com/dikhan/terraform-provider-openapi) 225 [VMware](https://github.com/vmware/dispatch) 226 ... 227 228 ## Note to users migrating from older releases 229 230 ### Migrating from 0.25 to [master] 231 232 Changes in the behavior of the generated client regarding defaults in parameters and response headers: 233 234 * default values for parameters are no more hydrated by default and sent over the wire 235 (assuming the server uses defaults). 236 * the previous behavior (explicitly sending defaults over the wire) can be obtained 237 with the SetDefaults() and WithDefaults() parameter methods. 238 * the body parameter is not pre-hydrated with the default from it schema 239 * default values for response headers are hydrated when the header is not received 240 (previously, headers remained with their zero value) 241 242 ### Migrating from 0.24 to 0.25 243 244 The options for `generate model --all-definitions` and `--skip-struct` are marked for deprecation. 245 246 For now, the CLI continues to accept these options. They will be removed in a future version. 247 248 Generating all definitions is now the default behavior when no other option filters the generation scope. 249 The `--skip-struct` option had no effect. 250 251 ### Migrating from 0.14 to 0.15 252 253 Generated servers no more import the following package (replaced by go1.8 native functionality): 254 ``` 255 github.com/tylerb/graceful 256 ``` 257 258 Spec flattening now defaults to minimal changes to models and should be workable for 0.12 users. 259 260 Users who prefer to stick to 0.13 and 0.14 default flattening mode may now use the `--with-flatten=full` option. 261 262 Note that the `--skip-flatten` option has been phased out and replaced by the more explicit `--with-expand` option. 263 264 ### Migrating from 0.12 to 0.13 265 266 Spec flattening and $ref resolution brought breaking changes in model generation, since all complex things generate their own definitions. 267 268 ### Migrating from 0.5.0 to 0.6.0 269 270 You will have to rename some imports: 271 272 ``` 273 github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/httpkit/validate to github.com/go-openapi/validate 274 github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/httpkit to github.com/go-openapi/runtime 275 github.com/naoina/denco to github.com/go-openapi/runtime/middleware/denco 276 github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger to github.com/go-openapi 277 ``` 278 279 ### Using 0.5.0 280 281 Because 0.5.0 and master have diverged significantly, you should checkout the tag 0.5.0 for go-swagger when you use the currently released version.
