## How to Run
You need a Java 24 runtime and java in the path. A very convenient way to install a java runtime is [SdkMan](https://sdkman.io).
Unpack the archive, run the provided shellscript file.

## DSL example
In the simplest form the DSL looks like this
```
/some/endpoint <- SomeType(foo:String)
```
This gets parsed into an [AST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree) which is this case holds a list of

Path segments and a data strucutre representing the input/body type.
## Code generation example
When the parser is done reading the DSL it will look in a directory for [freemarker](https://freemarker.apache.org)
templates. For each template it finds it sends in the AST. The resulting file (per template) is written to an
output directory.
The templates must have the file ending `.ftl` - this ending is stripped when generating the output file. So a template
called `types.java.ftl` will generate a file called `types.java`.
The idea being that you can take these files and probably adapt them before checking them into your project. Endgen
does not aim to be a roundtrip tool (i.e. reading the generated source, or being smart in updating them etc). It is also
a very limited DSL, you can for example not express what type of HTTP Verb to use or declare response codes. There are
no plans to extend the DSL to do that either.
