OpenAPI Based Type-Safe Client for RESTful Services in Java​

OpenAPI standard is a popular format to define RESTful APIs. Together with OData it is one of the key API definition formats used at SAP. The SAP Cloud SDK provides convenient tooling to make the consumption of OpenAPI services easy and convenient. We provide a customized OpenAPI code generator capable of converting an OpenAPI specification into a type-safe Java client library nicely integrated with the SAP Business Technology Platform abstractions also provided by the SAP Cloud SDK. You can use that generator to create a client for an OpenAPI-based API of your choice. Specifications are available at SAP Business Accelerator Hub. If you encounter any problems or errors with OpenAPI tooling give us feedback via our support channels.
