C++ Examples

[HawkXP71 116]

I notice and I am not surprised that there are no C++ examples for the Rest API.

I have a number of C++ using Qt libraries, that I would be willing to donate to the cause. 

If there were scripts that generated the current sample, I would be willing to take the time to modify the script to generate the C++ w/Qt examples

 

Thoughts?

The Emby REST API is self-describing following the OpenAPI standard.

You can get the OpenAPI JSON definition either from the SDKs:

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.SDK/tree/master/Resources/OpenApi (download the beta SDK for the latest API versions)

or from your own running server (in this case, it includes plugin APIs): see here: https://dev.emby.media/doc/restapi/index.html

 

There are countless code generators available which generate API code from OpenAPI specifications. We don't provide any C++ ApiClient code, because - for once - the tooling we use doesn't have a generator for C++ and secondly, I think that in case of C++ (or plain C), there are just too many ways for implementing such ApiClient and there's not one-fits-all solution - even more, it's rather unlikely that - whatever we would produce - would be largely suitable and universal enough that it would be useful for many people.

That's where OpenAPI comes into play: that way, you have endless choices for a code generator that will fit your needs.
