[ANN] Sashay: a Go language code generator for Swagger services

[Sean Russell]

Hi,

I've released v0.9 of Sashay, a Go code generator for REST services that expose a Swagger specification.

Go is a systems-oriented, procedural, garbage-collected, natively compiled, and concurrent programming language being developed by people at Google.

Example:

sashay -u http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/api/api-docs -p petstore > petstore.go 

will generate a Go library called "petstore" which can be imported and used to interact with the Swagger sample application. Use this generated library like this;

package main

import "petstore"

func main() {
    pet, err := petstore.GetPetById(33)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("error fetching pet:", err.Error())
        return
    }
    log.Println("Pet's name is", pet.Name)
}

Caveats in this version:

• Large swaths are untested with live services.  There will be bugs.
• Authentication is not yet implemented.  The next release will begin to include auth support.

I'm releasing it early and unfinished in the hopes that it will remove some boilerplate effort for somebody and thereby prove useful even if it fails to completely remove the need to write code for interacting with services.  Feel free to file bugs here.

Cheers,

--- SER
