How to: [6.3 - History of OpenAPI Generator](#table-of-contents)
OpenAPI Generator is a fork of [Swagger Codegen](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen). In view of the issues with the Swagger Codegen 3.0.0 (beta) release and the disagreement on the project's direction, more than 40 top contributors and template creators of Swagger Codegen decided to fork Swagger Codegen and maintain a community-driven version called "OpenAPI Generator". Please refer to the [Q&A](docs/qna.md) for more information.
