Re: GWT + Open API

Yes, those are the Models I was referring to.

I can't compare my approach to JsInterop + RequestBuilder/XMLHttpRequest because I haven't tried it, but having used RequestBuilder (and direct XMLHttpRequest) before, I can't see how you will write less code using that approach. A benefit of doing things in Java is that GWT will optimize the resulting javascript (Java classes/methods from the generated api that don't get used aren't included).

Thanks, Rogelio!

When you auto-generate Java source code, do you use swagger-codegen to
generate Java client code, so that you get Java classes implementing
the types from the OpenAPI #/definitions?
