aid: refitter
name: Refitter
description: Refitter is a .NET tool and source generator that produces Refit HTTP client interfaces from OpenAPI specifications.
  It runs at compile time as a source generator or as a standalone CLI tool (dotnet-refitter), enabling type-safe API consumption
  in .NET projects. Refitter reads OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) and OpenAPI 3.x specifications and generates strongly-typed C# interface
  definitions and model classes compatible with the Refit library.
