swig

all

Generate bindings between C/C++ code and various high level languages such as JavaScript, Python, C#, and more. It uses special `.i` or `.swg` files to generate the bindings (C/C++ with SWIG directives), then outputs a C/C++ file that contains all the wrapper code needed to build an extension module.
