Kodete

Kodete is a fictional open-source software framework intended to streamline boilerplate and repetitive code across programming languages. It provides a declarative specification language, a suite of code generators, and a runtime library to support generated artifacts. The project emphasizes reproducibility, modularity, and language-agnostic design for defining data models, APIs, and project scaffolds in a single place.

The core architecture includes a specification language called Kodete Schema, a generator engine with pluggable backends for target languages, and a templating subsystem for output customization. Backends translate high-level specifications into idiomatic code, build scripts, and tests.

Usage involves writing a Kodete spec, selecting backends, and running the generator to produce source code and configuration files. Generated artifacts are intended to integrate with existing build pipelines, with hooks available for post-generation customization.

Kodete is presented as community-driven and openly licensed, with a public repository and ongoing contributions from maintainers and volunteers. Governance is informal, prioritizing collaboration and transparent discussion.

Reception notes suggest potential to reduce boilerplate and improve consistency in multi-language projects, while acknowledging a learning curve and the need for a broader ecosystem.
