A Go CLI tool that converts OpenAPI/Swagger specifications (YAML or JSON) into Protobuf v3 schemas and gRPC service definitions. It supports grpc-gateway annotations, external file inlining, and various generation options via CLI flags and spec extensions.

Use cases

  • convert openapi spec to protobuf schema
  • generate grpc service definitions from swagger
  • generate proto v3 files from openapi yaml
  • add grpc-gateway http annotations to generated protos
  • migrate rest api definitions to grpc
  • inline external openapi references into one proto file

When to choose

  • you have an existing OpenAPI/Swagger spec and want to adopt gRPC
  • you need grpc-gateway annotations generated automatically
  • you want a deterministic, spec-driven proto generation pipeline

When to avoid

  • you need gRPC-to-OpenAPI conversion (the reverse direction)
  • your spec uses features openapi2proto does not support, like nested extensions
  • you want a maintained tool with frequent releases
