In their own words

APIMatic

APIMatic turns API contracts into SDKs, documentation, developer portals, code samples, Context Plugins, and MCP servers. Its specification-driven engine validates and transforms API definitions before generating interfaces for developers and AI systems. Supported specification formats include OpenAPI, RAML, Postman, API Blueprint, WSDL, Insomnia, and GraphQL Schema. Generated typed SDKs cover PHP, Ruby, Python, C#, Go, Java, and JavaScript/TypeScript.

Users can create or edit API definitions in the API editor or VS Code extension; the extension includes validation and linting with more than 1,200 built-in rules. Context Plugins provide API context to coding tools including Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Windsurf. The CLI and Cloud APIs can automate SDK and portal generation in CI/CD workflows. Enterprise options include self-hosting the generation pipeline, SAML and OIDC SSO, concierge onboarding, and priority support with SLAs. APIMatic lists a free plan and a 14-day trial. Paid plans are listed from $10/mo; the Lite plan is $99 a month billed annually or $115/m billed monthly.

SQLDelight

SQLDelight generates typesafe Kotlin APIs from SQL statements and checks database schemas, SQL statements, and migrations at compile time. Its IDE features include SQL autocomplete and refactoring support. Documented database dialects include SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL; HSQL and H2 are experimental, while CockroachDB, DB2, and Oracle dialects are listed as third-party options. The JVM connection overview lists MySQL and PostgreSQL, with JDBC and R2DBC variants shown for supported dialects. The project provides a Gradle plugin and extensions for Kotlin coroutines, RxJava, and AndroidX Paging. Its coroutines extension can expose a query as a Flow and emit updated results when the queried data changes. The Gradle verifySqlDelightMigration task applies migrations to stored schema databases and checks whether they reach the latest schema. SQLDelight is open source under the Apache-2.0 license and has a free listing at free, with no paid tiers stated. Its listed platforms are Android, API, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
