# Compare to other libraries Depending on which generator you use, you will see different output. For instance: Different ways of generating models, services, level of quality, HTTP client, etc. I've compiled a list below with the results per area and how they compare against the openapi-typescript-codegen. I've used the standard petshop examples from OpenAPI: - https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json - https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json And used the following generators with their default options: - typescript-aurelia - typescript-angular - typescript-inversify - typescript-angular - typescript-fetch - typescript-jquery - typescript-node #Results
