This is a sample application demonstrating .NET 6 with OpenAPI client code generation. While gRPC and GraphQL seem to be en vogue, REST with OpenAPI offers many of the same benefits in terms of contract and client generation. REST cant match subscriptions and streaming capabilities built into gRPC and GraphQL (not to mention the other features on those platforms), but its hard to beat the universal support for simple HTTP request/responses, ease of development, linear and predictable scaling of complexity, and maturity of REST. OpenAPI makes it more productive than ever to work with REST APIs and paired with managed WebSockets via Azure SignalR or Azure Web PubSub, building low-complexity, high performance web APIs is easier than ever.

You can start this project by running dotnet run Youll s
