Usage

The fglrestful command line tool supports OpenApi version 3. If your REST service is written with Genero REST high-level API, a specification file is provided by default via the query string ?openapi.json or ?openapi.yaml.

You use the tool to generate the GWS client stubs from an OpenApi specification file (JSON format) in order to interact with the REST service.

To access a remote web service, you must get the REST information from the service provider. If the server supports the OpenAPI specification, the fglrestful command can generate the description.
