AutoRest Core is one of 6 APIs that [AutoRest](https://apis.io/providers/autorest/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Code Generation, OpenAPI, Plugin System, and Pipeline. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, and a GitHub repository.

The AutoRest Core package (@autorest/core) is the central engine that orchestrates code generation from OpenAPI specifications. It handles input processing, configuration resolution, pipeline management, and plugin coordination. All language-specific generators are plugins that extend the core pipeline.
