Description

Atdgen is a command-line program that takes as input type definitions in the ATD syntax and produces OCaml code suitable for data serialization and deserialization.

Two data formats are currently supported, these are biniou and JSON. Atdgen-biniou and Atdgen-json will refer to Atdgen used in one context or the other.

Atdgen was designed with efficiency and durability in mind. Software authors are encouraged to use Atdgen directly and to write tools that may reuse part of Atdgen’s source code.

README

ATD project - Static Types for Json APIs

ATD stands for Adaptable Type Definitions. It is a syntax for defining cross-language data types. It is used as input to generate efficient and type-safe serializers, deserializers and validators. The current target languages are OCaml and Java.

The following opam packages are provided by the atd project:

  • atdgen: executable that generates OCaml code dealing with json and biniou data formats

  • atdj: executable that generates Java code dealing with json

  • atd: library for parsing atd files used by code generators
