Learning Language Bindings and Interface Generators

Lets understand Language Bindings and Interface Generators in this section. Binding is the process of mapping one thing to another. In the same vein, all software libraries, bindings are wrapper libraries. These acts as a  bridge between  two programming languages.

APIs that are intended to be used by more than one high-level programming language. Further, these often provide, or are augmented with, facilities to automatically map the API to features.  Moreover, these are more natural in those languages.  In addition, this is known as language binding, and is itself an API.

Subsequently, the aim is to encapsulate most of the required functionality of the API, leaving a “thin” layer appropriate to each language.

Below are listed some interface generator tools which bind languages to APIs at compile time.

• Firstly, SWIG opensource interfaces bindings generator from many languages to many languages (Typically Compiled->Scripted)
• Subsequently, F2PY: Fortran to Python interface generator.
