For years I have felt that if you are offering a public API it should be documented well enough for consumers to generate a client library in whatever language they are using, it is almost implausible to create client libraries in all languages your consumers might use, but a good OpenAPI definition allows consumers to understand an API and use tools to generate client libraries. Over the years I have worked with NSwag, which was good but put all the code in 1 file which I didn't like. AutoRest, which seemed to get more difficult to work with when V3 was released, so I looked around again and found OpenAPI Generator, which is great but needs Java. With the release of Kiota I was excited to look at how a dotnet tool could tackle the same requirement. ## What is Kiota? Kiota is a client generator for OpenAPI and was introduced at .NET Conf 2023.
