Kwil Header tool

An in-development command line tool for generating serialization code from C header files.

Kwil aims to be a non-intrusive drop-in (and if necessary drop-out) solution to automate the annoying task of writing deserialization and serialization code.

Currently aiming for json support, though adding (optional) support for other formats is strongly considered for implementing at a later time.

Features:

• Generate *_json_length and *_to_jsonfunctions for structs and enums marked with KWIL_STRUCT() or KWIL_ENUM()

• Generate *_from_json functions for structs.

• Dynamic array length specifiers (e.g: KWIL_FIELD(LEN=13 or KWIL_FIELD(LEN=src->field_length)
