How to build an SDK in Go
summary
Dropbox’s Go SDK is auto-generated using a Stone code generator and powers a working command-line tool called dbx CLI, demonstrating codegen-first scalability. Generated tests cover API inputs/outputs, while unions and polymorphism use json.RawMessage with custom UnmarshalJSON and the omitempty trick for serialization. Configuration lives in a passed struct (no on-disk persistence), SDK accepts an auth token (no auth flows), exposes configurable verbose logging, and a real OAuth failure is fixed by registering a broken-header provider.
