One particular advantage that is not necessarily obvious is that you can **generate clients** (sometimes called <abbr title="Software Development Kits">**SDKs**</abbr> ) for your API, for many different **programming languages**.

## OpenAPI Client Generators

There are many tools to generate clients from **OpenAPI**.

### Editor support

All the framework was designed to be easy and intuitive to use, all the decisions were tested on multiple editors even before starting development, to ensure the best development experience.

## Cloud Providers - Sponsors

Some cloud providers ✨ [**sponsor FastAPI**](../help-fastapi.md#sponsor-the-author){.internal-link target=_blank} ✨, this ensures the continued and healthy **development** of FastAPI and its **ecosystem**.

There is a `#contributing` channel on the community Slack which you can use
to ask any questions.

## Setting up your development environment

In order to make changes to Gradle, you'll need:

* A [Java Development Kit](http://jdk.java.net/) (JDK) **version 11**. Fixed version is required to use [remote cache](#remote-build-cache).

     * The server’s TLS certificate **does not need to be signed** by a trusted certificate
     * authority. Instead, it will trust any well-formed certificate, even if it is self-signed.
     * This is necessary for testing against localhost or in development environments where a
     * certificate authority is not possible.
