This section provides an introduction to Objective Sharpie, a command line tool used to automate the process of creating a .NET binding to an Objective-C Library
Overview
Objective Sharpie is a command line tool to help bootstrap the first pass of a binding. It works by parsing the header files of a native framework to map the public API into the binding definition.
Objective Sharpie uses Clang to parse header files, so the binding is as exact and thorough as possible. This can greatly reduce the time and effort it takes to produce a quality binding.
Objective Sharpie is distributed as a .NET tool and is open source.
Important
Objective Sharpie is a tool for experienced .NET developers with advanced knowledge of Objective-C (and by extension, C). Before attempting to bind an Objective-C library you should have solid knowledge of how to use the native framework in a native (Xcode) project (and a good understanding of how the native framework works).
