Cross-language dialect (CLD) is a set of tools and rules to write portable code for select programming languages at once.

Context and Entities keep the state (data), they are described in YML and can be converted to:

• Kotlin

Swift

Build tests on macOS:

$ ./swift/make

Run tests on macOS:

$ ./swift/do-test

Kotlin

Build tests on macOS:

$ ./kotlin/make

Run tests on macOS:

$ ./kotlin/do-test

Translator

Build translator:

$ cd translator && ./gradlew jar

Parse entities' YML:

$ cd translator && ./run/run-java --file=../test/test-dir/entities.yml --out=../test/test-dir/entities.kt --dbg

Generation of entities

№	Type	JavaScript	Kotlin	Swift
1	struct	X	√	X
2	context	X	√	X

Generation of entity fields for Kotlin

№	YML type	Kotlin type	Default value	YML example	Kotlin example
1	Bool	Boolean	false	didLaunch: Bool	var didLaunch: Boolean = false
2	String	String	""	method: String	var method: String = ""
3	[Type]	Array<Type>	arrayOf()	arguments: [String]	var arguments: Array<String> = arrayOf()
4	[TypeA: TypeB]	Map<TypeA, TypeB>	mapOf()	templates: [String: String]	var templates: Map<String, String> = mapOf()
