Kiota + Aspire

This demo showcases the integration of Kiota, Aspire, and .NET 8! This project demonstrates how these technologies can work together seamlessly.

Overview

In this demo, we have an application (App.Client) that calls our application's API (App API). This application integrates with the Bing REST API. The unique aspect of this project is that every HTTP client is automatically generated based on OpenAPI and Kiota.

Technologies

• Aspire - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/get-started/aspire-overview
• Kiota - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openapi/kiota

Key Features

• App.Client: This is our main application that interacts with the App API.
• App: This is our application's API which serves as the bridge between App.Client and the Bing REST API.
• Bing REST API Integration: Our application integrates with the Bing REST API to fetch data.
• Automatic HTTP Client Generation: We leverage OpenAPI and Kiota to automate the generation of every HTTP client in our application.
