Enhance .NET Client to Match PHP Client's Capabilities

[gimmickj]

Proposal:

Currently, the .NET client is just an auto-generated OpenAPI wrapper with poor developer experience. After using the PHP client, I'm impressed by its rich feature set and intuitive API design.

As a .NET developer, I'm requesting the community to help enhance the .NET client with similar functionality. The PHP client shows what's possible when you build a client manually with developer experience in mind, rather than relying on auto-generation.

Key improvements needed for .NET:

• Fluent query API (like PHP's search()->filter()->sort())
• Better object modeling
• More intuitive configuration
• Comprehensive feature parity with PHP client

I'd love to contribute but need guidance from those familiar with the codebase. Are there any plans to improve the .NET client, or can the PHP maintainers share insights on building a proper .NET version?

The PHP client is excellent - let's bring that same quality to .NET!

Hello @gimmickj,
Yes, that would be great! As you already noted, we use OpenAPI auto generator to build our clients, since we don't have enough expertise in .NET or other languages we support. So there isn't actually much guidance we can provide to you. We'd suggest you to use AI as first step to translate the structure of the PHP client to .NET and then to add fixes/improvements where necessary.
If you have any specific questions in mind regarding the implementation of the PHP client, feel free to ask.
