Generate model class for spring starter

[Omer Faruk Kurular]

I am writing spring starter and need to generate model class using some schema given by client using my starter. What would be the best solution to generate model class from schema? What kind of schema is used for this kind of stuff mostly? I am not very into JAXB as it is xml. I want something like grpc which has easy&simple schema format.

If the client has already given you a schema in a certain format, do you really have a choice?

No, I will force client to use my desired schema. No one gives me something I do not know or want. Could you use xml for application properties in a Spring Boot app? No. So this is similar.

You may use Open API Specs in YAML or JSON. Once you write them in YAML/JSON then you can use OpenAPI generator to generate the models.

Indeed. I've used the Maven plugin (https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/plugins/) quite often. It supports multiple generators; you can find a list on https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/. For the Java generators you can often configure what you want to generate, so generating only the model classes is easy.
