EcoreNetto

Introduction

ECoreNetto is a suite of dotnet core libraries and tools that are used to deserialize an Ecore meta-model for the purpose of code generation. Ecore is a meta-model used to represent models in the Eclipse Modelling Framework. EMF is a powerful framework and code generation facility for building Java applications based on simple model definitions. The intention of ECoreNetto is not to be a port of EMF, it aims at bridging the gap to the .NET world to facilitate code generation of C# class libraries based on an Ecore model using the .NET code available tooling and libraries.

ECoreNetto

The core library used to deserialize an ecore file and create an in memory ECore model object graph.

ECoreNetto.Extensions

The ECoreNetto.Extensions library provides extensions methods to the EcoreNetto library to support code generation. This library is part of the EcoreNetto ecosystem.

ECoreNetto.HandleBars

The ECoreNetto.HandleBars library provides HandleBars helpers to support code generation and reporting. This library is part of the EcoreNetto ecosystem.

ECoreNetto.Reporting

The ECoreNetto.Reporting library contains the report generators (HTML, Markdown, Excel and a text inspection report) that turn an Ecore model into human-readable documentation. The HTML report is a single self-contained document with collapsible sections and embedded, downloadable SVG inheritance and association diagrams. Every report can also be produced as a single combined report for a multi-file metamodel. This library is the engine behind ECoreNetto.Tools. Find the documentation here.

ECoreNetto.Tools

The ECoreNetto.Tools commandline application is used to generate reports (HTML, Markdown, Excel and inspection) on the content of one or more Ecore models. Find the documentation here.
