RicoSuter/NSwag
NSwag is a .NET toolset for generating OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation and client code from API specifications or ASP.NET Core projects. It provides a comprehensive suite of code generators for C# and TypeScript, supporting various HTTP client libraries and frameworks. The system also includes a graphical user interface (NSwagStudio) and a command-line interface for managing configuration and executing generation tasks. Additionally, it offers middleware and attributes for integrating Swagger UI, ReDoc, and OpenAPI document generation into web applications.

About this page
- The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
- The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 5 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit 2389c0721d — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
