The oanda REST api has some documentation, and at first I thought I could slog through it writing the rust code by hand, but it turns out to be a big task, as testamented by all the unfinished crates for it, so I'm automating it.
I considered using OpenAPI and JSON schema as an intermdiate form, but figured it was just extra work.
The repo is broken up into separate crates:
- web_scraper - Library that scrapes the OANDA api documentation and encodes it into rust structs from
model - model - The model used to represent the OANDA api, closest to the web page than the generated code.
- writer - Lib to generate the code from the model. This can be called by oanda_v2 build.rs
- writer_no_quote - The original (abandoned) version of writer that doesn't use quote (it uses codegen). I started it because I couldn't get quote and pretty formatting working. I abandoned it because there were some limitations with codegen
- oanda_v2 - The final generated crate; a client for the oanda rust API
- serialize_all - App that uses the web_scraper to serialize model into a giant yaml file
