NSwagCodeGenerator VS ShellNewHandler

• Automatic Client Generation
  NSwag.CodeGeneration can automatically generate C# client code from OpenAPI or Swagger specifications, saving developers time from manually writing HTTP client methods.
• Customizability
  It allows extensive customization of the generated code via various settings in the NSwag configuration files, enabling developers to tailor the code generation to fit specific project needs.
• Consistent API Consumption
  Ensures that the client code is consistently generated, reducing errors and ensuring that any updates in the API specification are reflected accurately in the client.
• Integration with Tooling
  NSwag integrates well with other tools and can be used in build processes, ensuring that the client is always up-to-date with the API specification during the CI/CD pipeline.
• Support for Multiple Languages
  Aside from C#, NSwag supports client generation for multiple programming languages, increasing its utility across different technology stacks.

Possible disadvantages

• Learning Curve
  New users may encounter a learning curve when configuring and using NSwag for the first time, especially if they are unfamiliar with OpenAPI specifications.
• Maintenance Overhead
  Over time, maintaining the NSwag configuration files may add complexity, particularly in large projects with constantly evolving APIs.
• Overhead for Small Projects
  For simple or small-scale projects, the overhead of setting up and maintaining automated client generation may outweigh the benefits.
• Dependency Management
  Projects may need to manage additional dependencies associated with NSwag, impacting project setup and increasing the potential for version conflicts.
• Performance Considerations
  Depending on the complexity of the OpenAPI specification, the code generation process can be resource-intensive, potentially impacting build performance.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
