We created Swagger to help fulfill the promise of APIs. 22 > 23 > 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. 24 25 ## Features 26 `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. 27 28 * Generates a server from a swagger specification 29 * Generates a client from a swagger specification 30 * Generates a CLI (command line tool) from a swagger specification (alpha stage) 31 * Supports most features offered by jsonschema and swagger, including polymorphism 32 * Generates a swagger specification from annotated go code 33 * Additional tools to work with a swagger spec 34 * Great customization features, with vendor extensions and customizable templates 35 36 Our focus with code generation is to produce idiomatic, fast go code, which plays nice with golint, go vet etc. 37 38 ## Project status 39 `go-swagger` is now feature complete and has stabilized its API. 40 41 Most features and building blocks are now in a stable state, with a rich set of CI tests. 42 43 The go-openapi community actively continues bringing fixes and enhancements to this code base. 44 45 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). 46 47 ## Documentation 48 <https://goswagger.io> 49 50 ## FAQ 51 Q&A contributed by the community: 52 53 <https://goswagger.io/faq/> 54 55 ## How is this different from go generator in swagger-codegen? 56 **tl;dr** The main difference at this moment is that this one actually works... 57 58 The swagger-codegen project only generates a _workable_ go client and even there it will only support flat models. 59 Further, the go server generated by swagger-codegen is mostly a stub. 60 61 > **Motivation** 62 > Why is this not done as a part of the swagger-codegen project? Because: 63 > 64 > * 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. 65 > * Go's super limited type system makes it so that it doesn't fit well in the model of swagger-codegen 66 > * Go's idea of polymorphism doesn't reconcile very well with a solution designed for languages that actually have inheritance and so forth. 67 > * For supporting types like `[][][]map[string][][]int64` I don't think it's possible with mustache 68 > 69 > I gravely underestimated the amount of work that would be involved in making something useful out of it. 70 > 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) 71 72 ## What's inside?

(feel free to sign in there if you are using this project): 208 209 > 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`: 210 211 [3DSIM](https://github.com/3DSIM) 212 [Alibaba PouchAPI](https://github.com/alibaba/pouch) 213 [CheckR](https://github.com/checkr/flagr) 214 [Cilium](https://github.com/cilium/cilium) 215 [CoreOS](https://github.com/coreos/go-quay) 216 [NetBox Community](https://github.com/netbox-community/go-netbox) 217 [EVE Central](https://github.com/evecentral) 218 Iron.io 219 [JaegerTracing](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger) 220 [Kubernetes-Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes-helm/monocular) 221 [Kubernetes](https://godoc.org/k8s.io/apiextensions-apiserver/pkg/apiserver) 222 [ManifoldCo](https://github.com/manifoldco) 223 [Metaparticle.io](https://github.com/metaparticle-io/metaparticle-ast) 224 [Netlify](https://github.com/netlify/open-api) 225 [Nutanix](https://github.com/nutanix) 226 [OAS2](https://github.com/hypnoglow/oas2) 227 [OVH API](https://github.com/appscode/go-ovh) 228 [RackHD](https://github.com/RackHD/RackHD) 229 [ScaleFT](https://github.com/authclub/billforward) 230 [StratoScale](https://github.com/Stratoscale/swagger) 231 [Terraform Provider OpenAPI](https://github.com/dikhan/terraform-provider-openapi) 232 [VMware](https://github.com/vmware/dispatch) 233 [Sunbird RC](https://github.com/Sunbird-RC/sunbird-rc-core/tree/main/services/notification-service) 234 [DIVOC](https://github.com/egovernments/DIVOC/tree/main/backend/portal_api) 235 ... 236 237 ## Note to users migrating from older releases 238 239 ### Migrating from 0.25 to [master] 240 241 Changes in the behavior of the generated client regarding defaults in parameters and response headers: 242 243 * default values for parameters are no more hydrated by default and sent over the wire 244 (assuming the server uses defaults). 245 * the previous behavior (explicitly sending defaults over the wire) can be obtained 246 with the SetDefaults() and WithDefaults() parameter methods. 247 * the body parameter is not pre-hydrated with the default from it schema 248 * default values for response headers are hydrated when the header is not received 249 (previously, headers remained with their zero value) 250 251 ### Migrating from 0.24 to 0.25 252 253 The options for `generate model --all-definitions` and `--skip-struct` are marked for deprecation. 254 255 For now, the CLI continues to accept these options. They will be removed in a future version. 256 257 Generating all definitions is now the default behavior when no other option filters the generation scope. 258 The `--skip-struct` option had no effect. 259 260 ### Migrating from 0.14 to 0.15 261 262 Generated servers no more import the following package (replaced by go1.8 native functionality): 263 ``` 264 github.com/tylerb/graceful 265 ``` 266 267 Spec flattening now defaults to minimal changes to models and should be workable for 0.12 users. 268 269 Users who prefer to stick to 0.13 and 0.14 default flattening mode may now use the `--with-flatten=full` option. 270 271 Note that the `--skip-flatten` option has been phased out and replaced by the more explicit `--with-expand` option. 272 273 ### Migrating from 0.12 to 0.13 274 275 Spec flattening and $ref resolution brought breaking changes in model generation, since all complex things generate their own definitions. 276 277 ### Migrating from 0.5.0 to 0.6.0 278 279 You will have to rename some imports: 280 281 ``` 282 github.com/thetreep/go-swagger/httpkit/validate to github.com/go-openapi/validate 283 github.com/thetreep/go-swagger/httpkit to github.com/go-openapi/runtime 284 github.com/naoina/denco to github.com/go-openapi/runtime/middleware/denco 285 github.com/thetreep/go-swagger to github.com/go-openapi 286 ``` 287 288 ### Using 0.5.0 289 290 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.
