Description

Hi

Currently to support the BigInteger type you have to do it by defining your own typeMapping.

Is there any reason why BigInteger is not supported without doing that? For example, Bigdecimal is supported.

Maybe it could be defined like this:

          schema:
            type: integer
            format: bigint

Thank you

Research direction

Start by examining how BigDecimal is supported in the Java and Spring generators, then compare that with the custom typeMapping described in the issue. Done means BigInteger is supported without a user-defined mapping and the proposed integer/bigint schema representation is handled consistently.
