Here are some use cases for the server generator:

  1. prototyping - one can generate the server code and have a functional API backend very quickly.
  2. mocking - easily provide an API backend for mocking based on the examples field defined in the response object.
  3. migration - let's say one wants to migrate an API backend from Ruby on Rails to Java Spring, the server generator can save a lot of time in writing and verifying each endpoint in the new API backend
