CastleDB: http://castledb.org/ Github: https://github.com/ncannasse/castle

Process CastleDB database JSON files and generates source code for both the types contained in the database and code to load and resolve foreign keys.

Supported CastleDB data types

• Unique Identifier
• Text
• bool
• Int
• Float
• Enum
• Flags
• Lists
• References
• Color
• File (as String)

Unsupported CastleDB data types

• Layer
• TilePos
• TileLayer
• Custom
• Dynamic
• Image (seperate IMG database, base64 encoding - will probably fork CastleDB to work with Urho3D resources in the future)

CastleDBGen - (C) JSandusky 2015
usage:
CastleDBGen <input-db-path> [outputfilename]

switches:
-ns: namespace, follow with namespace
    default: none
    C#: REQUIRED
-lang: <language>
    default: cpp
    option: as
    option: cs
    option: lua
    option: asbind (generate AS bindings)
-hd: <header path string>, C++ only
-db: name for database class
    default: GameDatabase
-bin: <setting>, type of binary read/write suppprt
    default: none
    option: on
    option: only, only generates binary read/write, no JSON
-inherit: <classname>
    default: none
    Required as "RefCounted" for AS binding generation
    Note: in C++ inheriting RefCounted will use SharedPtr for all things

Examples

CastleDBGen C:\MyDdatabase.cdb -lang cpp -ns MyNamespace
CastleDBGen C:\MyDdatabase.cdb -lang as
CastleDBGen C:\MyDdatabase.cdb -lang cpp -hd "../HeaderPath/"

Newtonsoft.JSON via Nuget

To use CastleDB custom types and their constructors a specific set of rules must be used to make the generator happy. These necessities were irrelevant to Haxe. Eventually a CastleDB fork will account for the necessity.

• The first "constructor" must be the variable type and must not be used in your data.
• All other constructors will be used to construct that data

The following snippet is valid for a field that is a float and is constructed via a call to random(value,value). The effect of the constructed code would be to call random() to set a float.

enum MyCustom {
    float;
    random(min : float, max : float);
}
