Project settings, which are compiled by the BuildSystem, are stored in a JSON file. The path to this JSON file is specified in the global settings.

Processed keys

  • type - type of project:
    • Idl;
    • CSharp;
    • Cpp;

  • dependencies - list of
    • other projects on which the current project depends;
    • packages in binrary storage, like NuGet.org and so on.
