Plain Old Data Objects generator from JSON Schemas

Overview

Code generation tool that generates Plain Old Data Objects with Serialization/Deserialization capabilities. This is a framework that uses mustache templating, using this java library. Starting from a JSON Schema input file, it will generate models that can be further used for interacting with a JSON that matches the specified schema. Heavily inspired from OpenAPI generator.

It is build as a framework, and new languages can be added. This will be detailed separately.

Supported generators

• C++ - PODOs with RapidJSON serialization/deserialization
• Java - just PODOs with lombok, no JSON library included by default

Getting started

Basic usage

Run java -jar ./modules/cli-wrapper/target/podo-generator-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar generate -g cpp -i <schema/input/file.json> -o <output/directory>. This will generate the models using cpp generator.

Also see java -jar ./modules/cli-wrapper/target/podo-generator-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar help

Advanced features

Generator specific properties are supported. The available custom properties of a generator can be seen by running java -jar ./modules/cli-wrapper/target/podo-generator-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar config-help -g cpp

For instance, java -jar ./modules/cli-wrapper/target/podo-generator-cli-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar generate -g cpp -i <schema/input/file.json> -o <output/directory> -genprops -ns=my_namespace,-l=mylib will generate the models in the my_namespace namespace, and build mylib module.

Samples

Samples can be found in samples directory.
