# Language Code Generators for UNOIDL Entities

Generators for language-binding--specific representations of UNOIDL entities:

- `cppumaker` generates header (`.hdl` and `.hpp`) files for the C++ UNO language
  binding
- `javamaker` generates class files for the JVM language binding
- `netmaker` generates C# code files for the .NET language binding
- `climaker` (the old codemaker for .NET Framework) is in module `cli_ure`
- `pythonmaker` generates Python stub (pyi) files for the Python UNO language binding

Note the different terminology used by cppumaker vs. gbuild for the three
variants that can be generated by cppumaker for some of the inline functions:

    cppumaker switch: -L;    cpputype.cxx: light;          gbuild: normal;
    cppumaker switch: none;  cpputype.cxx: normal;         gbuild: bootstrap;
    cppumaker switch: -C;    cpputype.cxx: comprehensive;  gbuild: comprehensive;

which can be a source of confusion.
