Investigate work involved to replace generator with an open sourced alternative

[algoanne]

Problem

generator is a homegrown tool to generate the SDKs from APIs. This approach means that every new type of object needs manual work to update generator (this happens often). This makes it not much better than hand-writing each SDK.

Solution

a probably preferable solution is to use an open-sourced SDK generator tool. This would also make it easier for community SDKs to be maintained as well.

For this story, answer these questions:

• What will it take to split out the generator and use a new open source tool instead?
• What tool is best for us?
