Note: this is preliminary (version 0.0.1) and will undergo serious changes, breaking in format etc. Open issues for suggestions, bug reports etc.
NID is a subset of C/C++ and the concept is inspired by tolua++
tool for the LUA language. The idea is to write a simplified C/C++ header with additional attributes which should convey the higher-level purpose of the API.
This software provides a parser component written in Node.JS which parses .nid
files into a JSON structure.
- Comments are stripped.
- No preprocessor but
#include <header>
will be parsed and shown in JSON. - Function and variable declarations are parsed.
- C++11 attributes are shown in JSON and can be used to improve the bindings.
As executable:
# npm install -g nid-parser
# nid input.nid
As dependency:
# npm install --save nid-parser
var nid = require('nid');
nid.parse(fs.readFileSync('sample.nid').toString('utf8'));
