ogen OpenAPI v3 Code Generator for Go. Getting started Sample project Security policy Telegram group @ogen_dev Install go get -d github.com/ogen-go/ogen Usage //go:generate go run github.com/ogen-go/ogen/cmd/ogen --target target/dir -package api --clean schema.json or using container: docker run --rm \ --volume " .:/workspace " \ ghcr.io/ogen-go/ogen:latest --target workspace/petstore --clean workspace/petstore.yml Features No reflection or interface{} The json encoding is code-generated, optimized and uses go-faster/jx for speed and overcoming encoding/json limitations Validation is code-generated according to spec Code-generated static radix router No more boilerplate Structures are generated from OpenAPI v3 specification Arguments, headers, url queries are parsed according to specification into structures String formats like uuid , date , date-time , uri are represented by go types directly Statically typed client and server Convenient support for optional, nullable and optional nullable fields No more pointers Generated Optional[T], Nullable[T] or OptionalNullable[T] wrappers with helpers Special case for array handling with nil semantics relevant to specification When array is optional, nil denotes absence of value When nullable, nil denotes that value is nil When required, nil currently the same as [] , but is actually invalid If both nullable and required, wrapper will be generated (TODO) Generated sum types for oneOf Primitive types ( string , number ) are detected by type Discriminator field is used if defined in schema Type is inferred by unique fields if possible Extra Go struct field tags in the generated types OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics Example generated structure from schema: // Pet describes #/components/schemas/Pet. type Pet struct { Birthday time. Time `json:"birthday"` Friends [] Pet `json:"friends"` ID int64 `json:"id"` IP net. IP `json:"ip"` IPV4 net. IP `json:"ip_v4"` IPV6 net. IP `json:"ip_v6"` Kind PetKind `json:"kind"` Name string `json:"name"` Next OptData `json:"next"` Nickname NilString `json:"nickname"` NullStr OptNilString `json:"nullStr"` Rate time. Duration `json:"rate"` Tag OptUUID `json:"tag"` TestArray1 [][] string `json:"testArray1"` TestDate OptTime `json:"testDate"` TestDateTime OptTime `json:"testDateTime"` TestDuration OptDuration `json:"testDuration"` TestFloat1 OptFloat64 `json:"testFloat1"` TestInteger1 OptInt `json:"testInteger1"` TestTime OptTime `json:"testTime"` Type OptPetType `json:"type"` URI url. URL `json:"uri"` UniqueID uuid. UUID `json:"unique_id"` } Example generated server interface: // Server handles operations described by OpenAPI v3 specification. type Server interface { PetGetByName ( ctx context. Context , params PetGetByNameParams ) ( Pet , error ) // ... } Example generated client method signature: type PetGetByNameParams struct { Name string } // GET /pet/{name} func ( c * Client ) PetGetByName ( ctx context. Context , params PetGetByNameParams ) ( res Pet , err error ) Generics Instead of using pointers, ogen generates generic wrappers. For example, OptNilString is string that is optional (no value) and can be null . // OptNilString is optional nullable string. type OptNilString struct { Value string Set bool Null bool } Multiple convenience helper methods and functions are generated, some of them: func ( OptNilString ) Get () ( v string , ok bool ) func ( OptNilString ) IsNull () bool func ( OptNilString ) IsSet () bool func NewOptNilString ( v string ) OptNilString Recursive types If ogen encounters recursive types that can't be expressed in go, pointers are used as fallback. Sum types For oneOf sum-types are generated. ID that is one of [string, integer] will be represented like that: type ID struct { Type IDType String string Int int } // Also, some helpers: func NewStringID ( v string ) ID func NewIntID ( v int ) ID Extension properties OpenAPI enables Specification Extensions , which are implemented as patterned fields that are always prefixed by x- . Server name Optionally, server name can be specified by x-ogen-server-name , for example: { "openapi" : " 3.0.3 " , "servers" : [ { "x-ogen-server-name" : " production " , "url" : " https://{region}.example.com/{val}/v1 " , }, { "x-ogen-server-name" : " prefix " , "url" : " /{val}/v1 " , }, { "x-ogen-server-name" : " const " , "url" : " https://cdn.example.com/v1 " } ], (...) Custom type name Optionally, type name can be specified by x-ogen-name , for example: { "$schema" : " http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema# " , "type" : " object " , "x-ogen-name" : " Name " , "properties" : { "foobar" : { "$ref" : " #/$defs/FooBar " } }, "$defs" : { "FooBar" : { "x-ogen-name" : " FooBar " , "type" : " object " , "properties" : { "foo" : { "type" : " string " } } } } } Custom field name Optionally, type name can be specified by x-ogen-properties , for example: components : schemas : Node : type : object properties : parent : $ref : " #/components/schemas/Node " child : $ref : " #/components/schemas/Node " x-ogen-properties : parent : name : " Prev " child : name : " Next " The generated source code looks like: // Ref: #/components/schemas/Node type Node struct { Prev * Node `json:"parent"` Next * Node `json:"child"` } Extra struct field tags Optionally, additional Go struct field tags can be specified by x-oapi-codegen-extra-tags , for example: components : schemas : Pet : type : object required : - id properties : id : type : integer format : int64 x-oapi-codegen-extra-tags : gorm : primaryKey valid : customIdValidator The generated source code looks like: // Ref: #/components/schemas/Pet type Pet struct { ID int64 `gorm:"primaryKey" valid:"customNameValidator" json:"id"` } Streaming JSON encoding By default, ogen loads the entire JSON body into memory before decoding it. Optionally, streaming JSON encoding can be enabled by x-ogen-json-streaming , for example: requestBody : required : true content : application/json : x-ogen-json-streaming : true schema : type : array items : type : number Operation groups Optionally, operations can be grouped so a handler interface will be generated for each group of operations. This is useful for organizing operations for large APIs. The group for operations on a path or individual operations can be specified by x-ogen-operation-group , for example: paths : /images : x-ogen-operation-group : Images get : operationId : listImages ... /images/{imageID} : x-ogen-operation-group : Images get : operationId : getImageByID ... /users : x-ogen-operation-group : Users get : operationId : listUsers ... The generated handler interfaces look like this: // x-ogen-operation-group: Images type ImagesHandler interface { ListImages ( ctx context. Context , req * ListImagesRequest ) ( * ListImagesResponse , error ) GetImageByID ( ctx context. Context , req * GetImagesByIDRequest ) ( * GetImagesByIDResponse , error ) } // x-ogen-operation-group: Users type UsersHandler interface { ListUsers ( ctx context. Context , req * ListUsersRequest ) ( * ListUsersResponse , error ) } type Handler interface { ImagesHandler UsersHandler // All un-grouped operations will be on this interface } JSON Code generation provides very efficient and flexible encoding and decoding of json: // Decode decodes Error from json. func ( s * Error ) Decode ( d * jx. Decoder ) error { if s == nil { return errors . New ( "invalid: unable to decode Error to nil" ) } return d . ObjBytes ( func ( d * jx. Decoder , k [] byte ) error { switch string ( k ) { case "code" : if err := func () error { v , err := d . Int64 () s . Code = int64 ( v ) if err != nil { return err } return nil }(); err != nil { return errors . Wrap ( err , "decode field \" code \" " ) } case "message" : if err := func () error { v , err := d . Str () s . Message = string ( v ) if err != nil { return err } return nil }(); err != nil { return errors . Wrap ( err , "decode field \" message \" " ) } default : return d . Skip () } return nil }) } Links Getting started Sample project Security policy Telegram chat @ogen_dev Roadmap
