NSwag is a Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0 toolchain for .NET, .NET Core, Web API, ASP.NET Core, TypeScript (jQuery, AngularJS, Angular 2+, Aurelia, KnockoutJS and more) and other platforms, written in C#. The OpenAPI/Swagger specification uses JSON and JSON Schema to describe a RESTful web API. The NSwag project provides tools to generate OpenAPI specifications from existing ASP.NET Web API controllers and client code from these OpenAPI specifications.

The project combines the functionality of Swashbuckle (OpenAPI/Swagger generation) and AutoRest (client generation) in one toolchain (these two libs are not needed). This way a lot of incompatibilites can be avoided and features which are not well described by the OpenAPI specification or JSON Schema are better supported (e.g. inheritance, enum and reference handling). The NSwag project heavily uses NJsonSchema for .NET for JSON Schema handling and C#/TypeScript class/interface generation.

Usage in C#

To register the middlewares to generate an OpenAPI spec and render the UI, register NSwag in Startup.cs: 

public class Startup
{
    ...

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddOpenApiDocument(); // add OpenAPI v3 document
//      services.AddSwaggerDocument(); // add Swagger v2 document
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
    {
        ...

        app.UseOpenApi(); // serve OpenAPI/Swagger documents
        app.UseSwaggerUi(); // serve Swagger UI
        app.UseReDoc(); // serve ReDoc UI
    }
}

The following code shows how to read an OpenAPI/Swagger specification and generate C# client classes to call the described web services: 

var document = await OpenApiDocument.FromFileAsync("openapi.json");
var clientSettings = new CSharpClientGeneratorSettings 
{
    ClassName = "MyClass",
    CSharpGeneratorSettings = 
    {
        Namespace = "MyNamespace"
    }
};

var clientGenerator = new CSharpClientGenerator(document, clientSettings);
var code = clientGenerator.GenerateFile();

The generators can be used in a comfortable and simple Windows GUI called NSwagStudio:
