Generating interfaces from annotated entity definitions for developing applications

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a data model definition defined using a human-readable syntax. The data model definition includes a set of annotated entity definitions. The program further generates a machine-readable representation of the data model definition. Based on the data model definition, the program also generates, for each annotated entity definition in the set of annotated entity definitions, an interface and an implementation class from the machine-readable representation of the data model definition. The program further provides the set of interfaces and the set of implementation classes to an integrated development environment (IDE) application for design-time implementation of the set of interfaces and the set of implementation classes.
