A library for programmatically creating programs that interface with data exposed by the official Guild Wars 2 API.

This library contains information about the structure and data-types of the API. This information can be used to generate custom API clients or other programs which require definitions of the API.

This library requires Java 8 or later. (Keep in mind that this library is intended to be used for static code-generation only. This requirement is not relevant for the generated output.)

Usage

Generating implementations

The com.gw2tb.apigen.APIGenerator class serves as entry-point for retrieving information about the Guild Wars 2 API. The schema API serves as high-level abstraction carrying semantic information about how the Guild Wars 2 API data should be interpreted.

It is recommended to generate one-to-one mappings between schema types mappings and appropriate language or library constructs, as well as between queries and functions.

For a better understanding of schema types and how to work with the library, please refer to the user guide.

Building from source

Setup

This project uses Gradle's toolchain support to detect and select the JDKs required to run the build. Please refer to the build scripts to find out which toolchains are requested.

An installed JDK 1.8 (or later) is required to use Gradle.

Building

Once the setup is complete, invoke the respective Gradle tasks using the following command on Unix/macOS:

./gradlew <tasks>

or the following command on Windows:

gradlew <tasks>

Important Gradle tasks to remember are:

  • clean - clean build results
  • build - assemble and test the project
  • apiDump - dump binary API to text file (when intentionally changing the public API)
  • publishToMavenLocal - build and install all public artifacts to the local maven repository

Additionally tasks may be used to print a list of all available tasks.

Adding/modifying endpoints

From time to time, API endpoints are added or updated. These changes need to be manually integrated into the API definition. The API definition files use a custom Kotlin-based DSL to define endpoint and queries. For information on the DSL and how the library functions, please refer to the documentation of the developer guide.
