A tool to (somewhat) serialise Java classes into JSON! Intended for generating typescript defs but currently not implemented.
There's a few negatives to using reflection instead of java-ts-bind or similar.
One downside is that unless you compile a jar with -parameters in javac, you can only get auto-generated param
names. The generated order follows arg<N>, meaning that the first parameter is arg0, the next is arg1, etc.
To build the project, run ./gradlew shadowJar (or however you run a .bat file for Windows).
Right now, JvTypeGen can serialise most data from classes (excluding innerclasses and generic information). Try giving the program some classes or class descriptors, the implementation should be robust enough for it. Example inputs (note: The semicolon should be omitted due to how Linux handles inputs, but the program can still parse them):
io.github.yu_vitaqua_fer_chronos.jvtypegen.ClassInfoLjava/lang/Stringjava.lang.ClassLoaderLjava/security/SecureClassLoader
If you are serialising an innerclass, make sure you escape the $ character, otherwise (on Linux) shell substitution will take place and leave you confused.
[ ] Implement generic reading (possible according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1901164/get-type-of-a-generic-parameter-in-java-with-reflection) [ ] Implement TypeScript type def generation
[ ] Add a way to recursively generate classes and interfaces [ ] Implement javadocs parsing to fill in gaps left from reflection (such as name generation)
