It's easy to beat Open API, it adds friction, generates ugly code and has a suboptimal UI. If you use https://servicestack.net you don't to rely on an intermediary external tool, you can generate clean TypeScript DTOs directly from strong C# typed models, that only needs to generate the clean DTOs for your typed APIs (i.e. without the ugly client proxy) as all generated DTOs can be used with the smart generic Service Client, which works the same way across 9 popular languages [2], maximizing reusability and reducing any porting efforts if needing to support Mobile Apps in future. It works even better in .NET languages where if you properly design your Service Layer [3] into a impl-free project you can avoid code-gen entirely and share the DTOs that define your typed Service Contract with .NET clients enabling an end-to-end Typed API without code-gen, which dramatically improves Dev UX in C# clients like Blazor [4] since you can add/modify APIs whilst your Service is running.

We also maintain a better integrated and UX Friendly API Explorer [5] that Open API's Swagger UI which generates richer, validation bound customizable Forms directly from your Typed DTOs, better discovery and API docs and a "Code" tab which gives API consumers step-by-step instructions for how to easily call your Typed APIs in their preferred programming language [6].
