Vdsm API Schema
I recently took on the large task of fully describing the vdsm API in a schema language. I used the QAPI schema format that is currently used by Qemu. This schema allows us to do some pretty cool things.
- Produce an API document with full cross-referenced type information
- Automatically generate source code that can be built into libvdsm (C bindings for the official API)
- Formalize the API
Here is a sample of the API documentation we can produce from the schema https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/releases/download/v4.50.1.1/vdsm-api.html
