This is an alternative to Swagger toolchain however is optimized for the SDLC of building Web applications on Web API of [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) and .NET Core. Strongly Typed Client API Generators was developed in 2015 when I was developing some WPF business applications talking to [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Web API. Swagger did not inherently support decimal/currency/money type, so I had developed this component suite for C# .NET clients initially, then jQuery, Angular 2+, Axios and Aurelia, supporting decimal/currency/money type.

If you are developing business applications on Web API of [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) or .NET Core, you may find WebApiClientGen is more straightforward and having less overhead than Swagger toolchain.

Here is a code example generated from a .NET Core Web API:

using aurelia fetch client.

This article may give you a big picture of SDLC utilizing WebApiClientGen:
