Polyglot Apache PLC4X
summary
Apache PLC4X generates drivers from a machine-readable m-spec format and language templates, producing more than 90% generated driver code for Java, Go and C (C#/.NET and Python work in progress). A Maven-based generator plus language templates create native-feeling APIs; unit and integration test frameworks use XML test cases and a test transport to validate parse/serialize and request/response flows. A C build runs in ~134 KB on STM32, and generated drivers are used successfully across plc4j, plc4c and plc4go.
