Hey, I'm the lead engineer of the webhooks product. I feel honoured to be releasing this today. I'll be here if you have any questions!
Congrats on the launch! This SDK gen tool with webhook support sounds like a game-changer for simplifying API integration. I'm curious, how does it compare to other popular SDK generators out there?
@ihuzaifashoukat I'll take this one! The most popular SDK generators are the ones housed within the OpenAPI generator project: https://openapi-generator.tech/
Those generators are great for small projects, but the SDKs you create aren't ready to support an enterprise API. They lack polish and depth of features.
We've focused a lot of time and effort on making sure our generators produce code that feels like it was handwritten for each of the different languages we support. We also have the ability to handle complex APIs. Some of the features which we have built that generators commonly lack:
- End-to-end type safety in each language
- Oauth2.0
- Custom code injection
- Support for automatic retries
- Support for paginated responses
- Union object support
- Webhooks (as mentioned in this post :D)
We've also done a write up on how we compare: https://www.speakeasy.com/post/c...
It includes links to per-language comparisons in case there is one in particular that interests you!
