[DEPRICATED] ballerina-extended-library
The Ballerina Extended Library
The Ballerina extended library includes useful libraries that are not shipped with core Ballerina distribution. When building Ballerina applications these extensions are commonly used.
Connectors take a major part of the extended library. They are useful to call external SaaS applications within Ballerina program you write. The connectors we have cover a wide spectrum of SaaS applications from databases to ERP, CRM, CMS and social media platforms. These libraries enable Ballerina application developers to do various application integrations, trigger notifications and automation of solutions. The connectors are deeply integrated with Ballerina language itself so that output of one connector can be transformed easily in the way your next connector needs. They are "Ballerina Stubs" for various APIs out there.
All connectors and other libraries are made available on Ballerina Central.
Repository Organization
This is the Parent repository of the Ballerina Extended Library and used to report bugs, request new features, start new discussions, view project boards, etc.
Connectors
To enable independent releases of each connector, we have made the following repository arrangement.
- Independently developed connectors.
- each connector code is separated into a child repository. Therefore to go through the code, please refer to the relevant child repository.
- Open API generated connectors.
- We have developed a tool to generate Ballerina connector out of a given Open API specification called ballerina-openapi. The connectors generated out of this tool reside at the repository ballerinax-openapi-connectors. Please check in the directory
openapi.
- We have developed a tool to generate Ballerina connector out of a given Open API specification called ballerina-openapi. The connectors generated out of this tool reside at the repository ballerinax-openapi-connectors. Please check in the directory
All above repositories are owned and maintained by the Ballerina Ecosystem Team who is responsible for governing, ensuring security and quality, doing timely releases, maintaining backward compatibility, etc.
