Description

AutoRest is a powerful tool that facilitates the generation of client libraries for interacting with RESTful web services. It requires a specification that outlines the REST API using the OpenAPI format, enabling the streamlined production of client code in various programming languages like C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, and Go. By automating this process, AutoRest significantly improves consistency and efficiency in API usage, thereby minimizing the manual labor involved in creating and maintaining client libraries. The tool utilizes a versatile pipeline to process OpenAPI input files, converting them into a code model that language-specific generators then use to create client code that conforms to the design principles of each language. Supporting both OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0 specifications, AutoRest ensures broad compatibility with numerous APIs. Additionally, developers can easily install AutoRest on any major operating system, including Windows, macOS, or Linux, using the Node.js package manager for a straightforward setup experience. This accessibility makes it an invaluable resource for developers looking to streamline their API integration processes.

Description

Kiota serves as a versatile client, plugin, and manifest generator tailored for HTTP REST APIs that are defined by OpenAPI specifications. It is accessible both as a command-line utility and a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension, providing developers with the ability to efficiently search through API descriptions, filter and choose specific endpoints, and create models along with a methodically chained API surface in multiple programming languages. This innovative solution reduces reliance on varied API clients for different APIs, allowing for the precise crafting of the necessary API surface area. Furthermore, Kiota contributes to the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem by supporting the generation of API plugins, thus enhancing its utility. The VS Code extension enriches the Kiota experience with an intuitive user interface that includes features such as API description searches, endpoint filtering, and client generation. Users can easily pick the endpoints they need and generate not just clients but also plugins and other outputs, all while receiving completion notifications and having straightforward access to generated outputs right within their workspace. This comprehensive functionality makes Kiota a powerful tool for streamlining API interactions and development processes.
