Code generation is the automated production of source code from higher-level specifications, models, templates, or tools rather than writing it manually line by line. It is used by software engineers to reduce boilerplate, ensure consistency (e.g., generating API clients from OpenAPI specs, or database models from schemas), and speed up development. Modern code generation also includes AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot that generate code from natural language prompts or context.
