I highly disrecommend going the codegen route on this,my experience is it becomes extremely finicky to get deployment and code control right on this, tbh this is a strong case for macros. Full disclosure, I was planning on doing an OpenAPI client compiler immediately after I finish my server router compiler, if you want to collaborate dm me.
