OpenAPI 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 to multi-language code generator
OpenAPI Nexus transforms OpenAPI specifications into type-safe client libraries. Generated output is deterministic, compile-checked in CI, and tested byte-for-byte via golden tests.

Configuration resolves in order: CLI args > environment variables (OPENAPI_NEXUS_*) > config file (openapi-nexus-config.toml) > defaults.
# Environment variables export OPENAPI_NEXUS_INPUT="spec.yaml" export OPENAPI_NEXUS_OUTPUT="generated" export OPENAPI_NEXUS_GENERATORS="typescript-fetch"
Generator-specific options go in the config file:
[generators.go-http] module_path = "github.com/myorg/myproject/sdk" [generators.rust-reqwest] workspace_mode = true workspace_deps = "workspace_version" [generators.rust-reqwest.extra_derives.structs] derives = ["PartialEq"] [generators.rust-reqwest.extra_derives.enums] derives = ["Hash"] [generators.rust-reqwest.utoipa] enabled = true dependency = '{ version = "5" }' [generators.rust-aioduct.aioduct] compression = ["gzip", "zstd"] features = ["tracing"] [generators.typescript-fetch] emit_enum_constants = true emit_type_guards = true property_naming = "camelCase"
OpenAPI YAML/JSON → parse → lower to IR → CodeGenerator::generate(&IrSpec) → write
Parsing auto-detects OAS version (3.0, 3.1, 3.2). Lowering produces a version-agnostic IrSpec. Each generator receives the pre-lowered IR and uses sigil-stitch for type-safe code emission.
