"Kiota - yet another API client code generator or something actually useful?", Anton Boyko.pdf

I don't like many things in general, one of which is creating and maintaining a client library for an API. It's not because it's complicated but because it draws my attention away from other parts of the project where I can do more valuable and exciting stuff.

During my session, I will share my experience of using Kiota for automated client code generation for an API. I successfully used Kiota in an enterprise-grade healthcare project, an e-commerce startup, and a few productivity tools that were my pet projects. I will show how we created an API and then efficiently generated client libraries for different programming languages to connect to that API.

4. Kiota – what and why?
What?
Kiotais a command line tool for generating an API client to call any OpenAPI-described API.
Why?
The goal is to eliminate the need to take a dependency on a different API client library for every API that you need to call. Kiota API clients provide a strongly typed experience with all the features you expect from a high quality API SDK, but without having to learn a new library for every HTTP API.
