The AI Boom revolutionized the software industry by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing skilled developers’ efficiency. However, it also led to layoffs for less efficient developers. Rather than viewing this as the end, consider it a fresh start. Adaptability and resilience are crucial in this new era of software development.
In the second, final part of my series, we’ll dive into building a REST API client using Microsoft Kiota. Leveraging the OpenAPI specification we made in the previous post, we’ll instruct Kiota to generate a decent client tailored to our needs. Additionally, we’ll explore creating an ad-hoc, customized client using the Visual Studio Code extension.
Nobody needs to write REST API clients manually anymore - generating a decent client from well-written definitions is a common practice. In this two-part series, I will introduce you to Microsoft Kiota, a new project that aims to provide a novel approach to the boring task of generating SDK clients. In the first part, I'll walk you through my sandbox REST API project, and demonstrate how to generate an OpenAPI definition file using the code-first approach.
