Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

API description techniques are described for consumption by dynamically-typed languages. In one or more implementations, machine-readable data is parsed to locate descriptions of one or more application programming interfaces (APIs). The descriptions of the one or more application programming interfaces are projected into an alternate form that is different than a form of the machine-readable data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising: checking compatibility of a second collection of dynamically-typed executable machine-readable code with a first collection of statically-typed executable machine-readable code, the checking comprising: parsing the first collection of statically-typed executable machine-readable code to locate descriptions of one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) included in the fi…
