Ogen

aid: ogen
name: Ogen
description: 'Ogen is an Apache-2.0 OpenAPI v3 code generator for Go, maintained by the ogen-go organization. It reads an
  OpenAPI v3 document at build time and emits a statically typed Go client and server: code-generated JSON encoding with no
  reflection or interface{}, code-generated validators, a static radix router, sum types for oneOf with name, type and value
  discrimination, Opt/Nil/OptNil wrappers instead of pointers, a typed SecuritySource interface, webhook client and server
  generation, Server-Sent Events client generation, and OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics. Behaviour is steered by a YAML
  config file with a published JSON Schema and by a twelve-term registry of x-ogen-* specification extensions. Ogen operates
  no hosted API of its own — it is distributed as a Go module, a pinned go.mod tool dependency, and a distroless container
  image.'

  description: The ogen code generator. Invoked as a build-time CLI against a local OpenAPI v3 document — `ogen [options]
    <spec>` — it writes a Go package containing a typed client, server, router, validators and JSON codecs. There is no hosted
    endpoint, no authentication and no base URL; the machine-readable contract is the published JSON Schema for the .ogen.yml
    configuration file.
