Command-line tool that generates gluecode from a djinni-IDL file

Djinni Generator

➡️ Documentation: djinni.xlcpp.dev

Djinni is a tool for generating cross-language type declarations and interface bindings. It's designed to connect C++ with either Java or Objective-C.

Djinni generator parses an interface definition file and generates:

• C++ implementations of types (enums, records)
• Java implementations of types
• Objective-C implementations of types
• Python implementation of types
• C++/CLI implementation of types
• C++ code to convert between C++ and Java over JNI
• Objective-C++ code to convert between C++ and Objective-C
• Python and C code to convert between C++ and Python over CFFI
• C++/CLI code to convert between C++ and C#
