摘要： Native operating system application programming interfaces (API's) are described using metadata and such descriptions are stored in a standard file format in a known location. By storing API definitions using such metadata, other applications can readily identify and use the APIs. To create such API representations, during development, a developer describes the shape of the API, including (but not limited to) the classes, interfaces, methods, properties, events, parameters, structures and enumerated types defined by the API. This API description is processed by a tool which generates a machine-readable metadata file. The machine-readable metadata file contains the same information as the API description, however in a format designed to be machine read rather than human authored.

摘要： Information about the operating system application programming interfaces is stored in a known format in a known location. This information fully describes the APIs exposed by the operating system and is stored in API metadata files. A language compiler or interpreter uses this API information to build a natural and familiar representation of the native system API in the target language. The language compiler or interpreter can read the API information at compile time and/or runtime. The metadata is used to allow an application to refer to named elements in the API. Projections are built that use the metadata to map named elements in the API to named elements in the target language, and to define wrappers that marshal data of those elements between the target representation and the native operating system representation.
