Compilation of Go tools to Go type safe.

Motiviation

The advantage of failing early with compile-time errors provided with type-safe code.
The difficulty of discovering universally applicable and well tested tools among the endless options of overly specific and under tested others.

Tool’s main goal is replacing a non type-safe code with type safe Go code.
Tool solve a common-enough problem that the author is not the single one suffers from it.
Tool is well maintained and tested.
Tool follows semver constraints.
Tool provides a binary and not exclusively an online service (for easier integration).
Tool accounts edge cases in input code with utilites correct AST manipulation and constructing practices and doesn’t solely depend on textual operations.

Tools are listed under main categories they are most close to.

Tool	Description	Replaced type-unsafe practices
Gohandlers	Generate code for strongly typed and reflectionless request-response binding, request validation, registering routes and Go clients.	Reflection-based struct field iteration for request/response bindings.
