## What it is
The AsyncAPI Generator is a Node.js tool that generates arbitrary output—code, documentation, diagrams, boilerplate—from an AsyncAPI specification document and a template. It ships as a CLI (via the AsyncAPI CLI) and an npm library, with an extensible template ecosystem including React-based rendering.

## Use cases
- generate HTML documentation from an AsyncAPI spec
- scaffold Node.js service boilerplate from an event-driven API definition
- generate client SDKs for Kafka, WebSocket, or MQTT APIs
- produce markdown docs from asyncapi.yaml
- generate code from AsyncAPI document in CI/CD pipeline
- create custom templates to generate anything from an API spec

## When to choose
- you have an AsyncAPI document and want docs, code, or SDKs generated from it
- you want to automate API artifact generation in CI/CD
- you need an extensible, template-driven codegen tool for event-driven APIs

## When to avoid
- you only need to generate data models/classes—use AsyncAPI Modelina instead
- your API is REST/OpenAPI rather than event-driven/AsyncAPI
- you need a GUI-based documentation generator

## Facets
