The README describes the project as OpenAPI code generation for Swift, written in Swift, powered by OpenAPIKit. The 0.1.0 release in August 2022 was a major maturation point: the changelog lists Homebrew publication, Swift Package Plugin support, expanded documentation and contribution guides, command-line config overrides, configurable generated package dependencies, custom data-type mappings, and parallel path generation. ### Adoption history The official README documents installation through Mint, Homebrew, Swift Package Plugins, and make. It also lists open-source projects using Create API, including App Store Connect API, Swift SDK for Jellyfin, and Google Generative AI SDK. ### How it is used Users run create-api generate against a JSON or YAML OpenAPI schema, optionally passing output and configuration options. The default configuration path is .create-api.yaml, and the tool can generate complete Swift packages or individual components for integration into an existing Swift project. ### Why package nerds care Create API sits at the intersection of API schema packaging and Swift package generation. For package maintainers, its significance is that it can convert upstream OpenAPI descriptions into reproducible Swift source bundles suitable for normal SwiftPM workflows. ### Timeline - 2021: CreateAPI/CreateAPI repository created. - 2022: 0.0.1 initial pre-release published. - 2022: 0.1.0 added Homebrew publication and Swift Package Plugin support. - 2023: 0.2.0 release published. ### Related projects - The README says Create API is powered by OpenAPIKit and lists downstream Swift SDKs generated or maintained with the tool. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
