winmd

Win32 API metadata bindings generator.

The generator supports:

• JSON metadata input (win32json-style)
• Native .winmd input via ecma335

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     winmd:
       github: mjblack/winmd

2. Run shards install

Usage

Run the command bin\winmd.exe from the shard itself or from your own shard.

Fetch Windows.Win32.winmd (uses the version pinned in winmd.version):

pwsh ./scripts/fetch-winmd.ps1

Override the version or output path:

pwsh ./scripts/fetch-winmd.ps1 -Version 70.0.11-preview
pwsh ./scripts/fetch-winmd.ps1 -OutputPath winmd/Windows.Win32.winmd

Examples:

# Existing JSON-based flow
bin/winmd generate ./path/to/json ./out

# Native WinMD flow (new)
bin/winmd generate --source-format winmd ./winmd/Windows.Win32.winmd ./out
