What is this?

The Roblox API Dump Tool is a utility program that allows you to browse a human-readable dump of Roblox's Lua API, and view upcoming changes to the API before they are officially released. I developed this tool alongside Roblox's JSON API Dump feature while I was an intern at Roblox.

This project's source code aims to be a foundational reference for working with the JSON API Dump, and how you can interpret its data for your own projects! It also serves to replace Roblox's original API Dump, as this tool can generate a full dump of Roblox's API in a similar fashion to the original one, but with much more flexibility over how the data is presented.

You can download the latest version of the program directly through this link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MaximumADHD/Roblox-API-Dump-Tool/master/RobloxAPIDumpTool.exe

Demonstrations

API Dump

This tool can generate a full dump of Roblox's API based on the JSON API Dump!
The full dump is ~3000 lines though, so I won't embed it in this README.
You can view the full one here!

Here's an example of what it generates for the AnimationTrack class:

Class AnimationTrack : Instance [NotCreatable]
    Property Class<Animation> AnimationTrack.Animation [ReadOnly] [NotReplicated]
    Property bool AnimationTrack.IsPlaying [ReadOnly] [NotReplicated]
    Property float AnimationTrack.Length [ReadOnly] [NotReplicated]
    Property bool AnimationTrack.Looped
    Property Enum<AnimationPriority> AnimationTrack.Priority
    Property float AnimationTrack.Speed [ReadOnly] [NotReplicated]
    Property float AnimationTrack.TimePosition [NotReplicated]
    Property float AnimationTrack.WeightCurrent [ReadOnly] [NotReplicated]
    Property float AnimationTrack.WeightTarget [ReadOnly] [NotReplicated]
    Function void AnimationTrack:AdjustSpeed(float speed = 1)
    Function void AnimationTrack:AdjustWeight(float weight = 1, float fadeTime = 0.100000001)
    Function RBXScriptSignal AnimationTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal(string name)
    Function double AnimationTrack:GetTimeOfKeyframe(string keyframeName)
    Function void AnimationTrack:Play(float fadeTime = 0.100000001, float weight = 1, float speed = 1)
    Function void AnimationTrack:Stop(float fadeTime = 0.100000001)
    Event AnimationTrack.DidLoop()
    Event AnimationTrack.KeyframeReached(string keyframeName)
    Event AnimationTrack.Stopped()

API Changes

This tool is also capable of comparing API Dumps, and it can generate very precise difference logs.
Here are the API changes that were generated from this tool for Roblox v366:
