Nullean.PublicApi

Reads the public API of a .NET assembly from its metadata, without loading it, and writes it as a .api file: an indented tree of namespaces, types and members, one C# declaration per line.

using Nullean.PublicApi;

var api = ApiReader.Read("bin/Release/net10.0/MyLib.dll");
File.WriteAllText("MyLib.api", ApiWriter.Write(api));

// and back: the same model, with the line each type and member is on
var document = ApiParser.Parse(File.ReadAllText("MyLib.api"));

assembly MyLib
using System: ObsoleteAttribute
using interface System: IComparable<>, IDisposable

namespace MyLib.Drawing
  interface IShape : IDisposable
    double Area { get; }
    void Scale(double factor) { … }

  sealed class Widget : Shape, IComparable<Widget>
    Widget(string name, int size = 1)
    required string? Name { get; init; }
    [Obsolete("use Draw(Canvas)")]
    void Draw()

The model holds what a declaration says: base types and interfaces, type parameter constraints and variance, nullability, tuple element names, ref, out, in and params, default and constant values, required, init, and the attributes that are about the API rather than the compiler's bookkeeping. Everything in the file is visible from outside, so public goes without saying and only protected is written.

The header names every type from another assembly the API uses, namespace by namespace, so declarations use short names; a name two namespaces share is written in full. using struct lists the value types, so DateTime? reads back as a nullable value type and string? as an annotated reference, and using interface the interfaces a base list names, so a reader can tell a base class from an interface without the other assembly. ApiParser reads the file back into the same model the reader produced from the assembly.
