## What it is
A CLI and library that generates a zodios-based TypeScript HTTP client with zod runtime validation from an OpenAPI/Swagger spec (JSON or YAML). It can also be used programmatically to extract computed schemas and endpoints.

## Use cases
- generate a typescript api client from an openapi spec
- add zod runtime validation to api calls from a swagger document
- automate api integration from openapi spec in CI
- consume third-party apis with type-safe clients
- extract zod schemas from openapi json or yaml

## When to choose
- you need a zodios client with axios and zod validation generated from an existing OpenAPI spec
- you only have an OpenAPI spec as source of truth for consuming an API you don't control

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the repo is deprecated in favor of typed-openapi
- you control the API backend - use tRPC, zodios directly, or ts-rest instead
