In their own words

Angular CLI

Angular CLI is a free, open-source command-line tool for scaffolding, developing, testing, building, deploying, and maintaining Angular applications. Published on npm as @angular/cli, it provides the ng command. The ng new command creates a workspace and starter application, and a workspace can contain multiple applications and libraries. For local development, ng serve watches files, rebuilds the app, and reloads changes. Builds can compile, optimize, bundle, and minify projects using documented esbuild or webpack builders; schematics automate generating and modifying source files. Deployment builders let ng deploy connect to Firebase Hosting, Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, and Amazon Cloud S3. The CLI also supports end-to-end test builders, Tailwind CSS setup, and an MCP server with tools for code generation, workspace analysis, builds, and tests. Angular documents installation through npm, pnpm, Yarn, or Bun. Local installation and use require Node.js on an active or maintenance LTS release. Angular major releases are typically supported for 24 months, split into 12 months of active support and 12 months of LTS.

Swagger Codegen

Swagger Codegen is an open-source tool that generates API client libraries, server stubs and documentation from OpenAPI specifications. Its template-driven engine parses OpenAPI or Swagger definitions and produces project code from schemas. Swagger states that it can generate client SDKs in over 40 languages and server boilerplate in over 20. Listed capabilities include OpenAPI import, schema-to-code generation, project scaffolding, custom templates, an interactive API reference, code samples and a command-line interface. Outputs and integrations include HTML and Confluence Wiki documentation, Apache2 configuration files and JMeter. The project is available from GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license, with a hosted option through SwaggerHub. SwaggerHub can generate code in a selected language and push it to source-control repositories. Supported client targets include C#, Dart, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Scala, Swift and TypeScript variants. Server targets include ASP.NET Core, Go, Java Vert.x and JAX-RS options. The repository warns that untrusted descriptions may cause code injection.
