SDK Templates

ApiGear provides a collection of SDK templates that transform your API definitions into production-ready code for various programming languages and platforms.

Each template generates clean interfaces, data structures, and build system support based on your API modules. Templates can be configured with different features and scale with your project as you add more API modules.

Available Templates​

C++17​

Modern C++17 SDK with CMake and Conan support. Generates abstract interfaces, data structures, and full build infrastructure.

Features: API interfaces, scaffolding, OLink protocol, MQTT support, monitoring

View C++17 Documentation →

C++14​

C++14 compliant SDK for projects requiring older compiler support. Currently in maintenance mode.

Features: API interfaces, scaffolding, CMake, Conan, test support

Qt6​

Qt6/QML SDK generating CMake-based libraries and QtQuick plugins. Ideal for Qt-based desktop and embedded applications.

Features: API interfaces, scaffolding, QML integration, OLink protocol, monitoring

Template Features​

All templates support common features that can be enabled or disabled:

FeatureDescription
APIGenerates interface definitions and data structures
ScaffoldCreates a complete project with build system and tests
OLinkEnables remote object communication protocol
MQTTAdds MQTT messaging support (select templates)
MonitorIntegrates with ApiGear monitoring tools

Getting Started​

  1. Define your API using the ObjectAPI format
  2. Create a solution file specifying your template
  3. Run the code generator using CLI or Studio
  4. Follow the generated README for build and integration instructions
