WireForge

Schema-driven wire-format toolkit for C++17 and C99: describe binary messages in YAML (by hand, in the web UI, through the CLI or an AI agent) and generate allocation-free serializers, validators, framers and dispatchers (C++17, or C99 with --language c) together with a GoogleTest project that proves them against a reference codec and gates the generated code at 100 % line, branch and function coverage.

• The wire format is imposed by the remote party: generated code never adds bytes.
• Runtime and generated code use only pre-allocated storage: no heap, no exceptions, no RTTI required.
• One service layer behind the wireforge CLI, the Python API, the REST server with its web UI and the MCP server.
• A generated Wireshark Lua dissector shows every interface's frames, with the same checks as the decoder.
• Zero warnings from every compiler and analyzer; tested on 32/64 bit, little and big endian, x86 and ARM, on Linux, Windows, macOS, Android and FreeRTOS; differential testing and fuzzing.

The way in is short: wireforge init gives a working first project, you change it to your protocol, generate the C++ code, run the tests and read the results. Nothing about requirements or standards is needed for that.

For teams with a development or assurance process

Optionally, wireforge docs turns the same model into requirements, design, test and traceability documents with test and coverage results, change impact between revisions and ReqIF/CSV exchange with requirements tools (docs/LIFECYCLE.md, docs/integration/). For projects that apply standards such as DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508 or IEC 62304, this evidence supports your processes and your tool assessment; it does not by itself give conformity, certification or tool qualification, which depend on the whole project and its assessor (docs/DO178C.md).

Start with docs/GUIDE.md (install, 5-minute quickstart, examples), or with the wiki for a short tour. Reference:

Development: see CONTRIBUTING.md (pip install -e ".[dev]", cmake --preset dev && cmake --build --preset dev && ctest --preset dev, all gates: quality/run_all.sh).

GitHub Action

oguzhankynk/wireforge is also a GitHub Action that validates a project, checks wire compatibility with the base of a pull request and runs the generated tests (docs/integration/github_actions.md):

- uses: oguzhankynk/wireforge@v0.2.1
