  Refitter is a .NET tool and source generator that produces Refit HTTP client
  interfaces from OpenAPI specifications. It runs at compile time as a source
  generator or as a standalone CLI tool (dotnet-refitter), enabling type-safe
  API consumption in .NET projects. Refitter reads OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) and
  OpenAPI 3.x specifications and generates strongly-typed C# interface
  definitions and model classes compatible with the Refit library.

      The type-safe REST library for .NET that Refitter generates interfaces for.
      Refit turns REST APIs into live interfaces by decorating C# interfaces with
      attributes describing the HTTP endpoints, then generating HttpClient calls
      at runtime via Castle DynamicProxy or source generators.
