Apiary: Export API as JSON, to generate client code

We all know that apiary rocks (or not.. I think it does), and I was wondering what would it take to take it a step further allow users to export a JSON description of the API? (So developers can script client code generation)

This should help: http://ttezel.github.io/blog/2013/02/23/stop-writing-rest-api-clients/

Solution

  • There are two directions you can explore:

    • you can use Alpaca to generate client SDKs. Alpaca accepts API Blueprint as one of it's input formats

    • for more flexibility, you can use Snowcrash to parse API Blueprint into JSON - and roll your own code generator.
