aiopenapi3

If you can’t make it perfect, make it adjustable.

aiopenapi3 is a client library to interface RESTful services using OpenAPI/Swagger description documents, built upon pydantic for data validation/coercion and httpx for transport. Located on github.

No code generation

Suits the code-first pattern for REST services used by major frameworks (FastAPI, Django REST framework) as well as design first APIs.
