    Native Mac APIs for Go. Soon to be renamed DarwinKit!

  • Even less common are schemas for non-web APIs. In 2016, Electron started releasing a JSON schema of all their APIs that allowed me to build a bridge to use Electron APIs from Go. I had that prototype in mind when I started the macdriver project that was released a couple months ago. Right now we're manually wrapping Apple framework classes with Go types so you can write native Apple platform applications that look like this:

  • macschema

    Discontinued Toolchain for generating JSON definitions of Apple APIs

  • If this is interesting, take a look at the tool I built, macschema, which is open source on GitHub. Right now it's just the toolchain, but in theory we could generate schemas for all of Apple's APIs and put them in a repo in such a way that can be updated by a combination of macschema and user contributed patches. I'll let somebody else do that though.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
