Speakeasy vs OpenAPI/Swagger Generator
Blog post from Speakeasy
The blog post discusses the differences between Speakeasy and OpenAPI/Swagger Generator in generating SDKs from API specifications, highlighting that while OpenAPI Generator is a popular open-source tool, it often falls short for enterprise needs due to issues like spotty API feature coverage, non-idiomatic code, and numerous bugs. Speakeasy aims to address these shortcomings by offering a platform designed to generate high-quality, type-safe, and easily readable SDKs that include features like OAuth, pagination, retries, and minimal dependencies. The post emphasizes Speakeasy's goal to deliver a developer experience that is superior to OpenAPI Generator, providing examples and comparisons across various programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, and PHP to illustrate the differences in usability, code quality, and functionality.
