api-parity 0.0.3

Cross-language API parity differ and report renderer.

api-parity

Language-agnostic differ for the api-parity project. Reads two JSON envelopes (a reference and a port), left-joins them on path, and renders a coverage report.

See the project README for end-to-end pipelines and the cross-language story.

Install

pip install api-parity

Usage

api-parity compare ref.json port.json -o report.md
# or:
api-parity compare ref.json port.json --format=json -o report.json

ref.json and port.json are produced by language-specific plugins:

• api-parity-py — Python plugin (walker + decorators).
• api-parity-rs — Rust plugin (attribute macros + walker).

The report groups members under their parent class, surfaces per-class coverage percentages, and lists stale port entries — paths the port claims but the reference doesn't have (typos, removed APIs, drift).

Wire format

Both envelopes follow SCHEMA.md. The differ doesn't care which language produced them, only that path is a shared join key. Adding a new language means writing a plugin, not patching the differ.
