Skir Language

Skir is a language for representing data types, constants and APIs. It is designed for systems where different services are written in different languages but need to exchange structured data.

Example:

// shapes.skir

struct Point {
  x: int32;
  y: int32;
  label: string;
}

struct Shape {
  points: [Point];
  /// A short string describing this shape.
  label: string;
}

const TOP_RIGHT_CORNER: Point = {
  x = 600,
  y = 400,
  label = "top-right corner",
};

/// Returns true if no part of the shape's boundary curves inward.
method IsConvex(Shape): bool = 12345;

Go to Definition

This extension supports navigating to the definition of symbols within your Skir codebase:

• Click on any symbol to navigate to its definition
• Click on import paths to navigate to the imported file
