What Hacker News says
2 sourcesYou can recommend it in what context, from openapi (as they claim https://github.com/fern-api/fern#starting-from-openapi ) or from their ... special ... definition schema?
For those wanting less talk, moar code: https://github.com/fern-api/fern-java/blob/0.4.2-rc3/example... -> https://github.com/fern-api/fern-java/blob/0.4.2-rc3/example...
Regrettably, I wasn't able to readily find a matching openapi example, likely cause they really seem to believe their kid-gloves format is the future (or lock in, depending on how bitter one is feeling)
