Abstract

Code generation is basically about writing programs that write programs. Given today’s complex code-intensive frameworks, such as Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Microsoft’s. NET and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), it is becoming increasingly important that we use our skills to create programs which aid us in developing our applications. Generally speaking, the more complex the framework is, the more appealing you will find a code generation solution. Many object-oriented programming (OOP) languages lack reusability and flexibility, and require a similar code to be written repeatedly. This paper reviews the code generators that are most useful for implementation in applications for automatic code generations, their pros and cons, where they are most widely used nowadays, as well as their versatility. In Visual Studio we use the term “scaffolding” when we want to generate identities automatically. When we start a new ASP.NET project, it genrates a template where we start from.
