🚧 WORK IN PROGRESS 🚧
Sidex is still under construction. In particular, the functionality described here may not exist yet, may change considerably in the future, or may even be completely abandoned at a later point in time. We are actively working on the design, features, and vision of Sidex.
⚠️
Sidex is a format- and language-agnostic data modeling and API definition framework with a focus on type safety, extensibility, and developer ergonomics. Sidex aims to simplify data exchange between different programming languages and platforms via potentially multiple interchange formats and storage backends.
💡 Idea: The idea is simple, define your data model and API once with Sidex and then generate code for different languages, interchange formats, and storage backends from this single Sidex ground truth.
Sidex's type system and definition language have been inspired by Rust. With custom attributes, similar to Rust's attributes, the possibilities for code generation become almost limitless. You can easily develop your own code generator or extend an existing one to fit your needs (e.g., for generating additional methods).

- Schema-first definition of data structures and APIs.
- Designed for format- and language-agnostic definitions.
- Modern algebraic data types and non-null by default.
- Extensible with user-defined opaque types.
- Support for generics, recursive types, and custom attributes.
- Language server and VS Code extension for increased productivity.
- Out-of-the-box support for Rust, TypeScript, and JSON.
