winapi_to_json

An automatic collector of function metadata provided by the official Microsoft repo microsoft/win32metadata.

The project leverages the windows_metadata rust library provided by Microsoft, in order to parse the latest Windows Metadata file obtained from https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/raw/master/crates/libs/bindgen/default/Windows.Win32.winmd. After downloading and parsing the file, it will process the data to JSON format with the following structure:

[
  {
    "module_name": "example.dll",
    "functions": [
      {
        "function_name": "CreateExampleHandle",
        "ret_type": "HANDLE",
        "params": [
          "*Void examplePtr",
          "U32 exampleCommand",
          ...
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "module_name": "...",
    "functions": [...]
  },
  ...
]

How to obtain the json file?
