Binding Generators

cimgui

https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui (2015-2024)
Output C API + output metadata (see generator/output/ folder) which can be used to automatically generate other bindings.
(Important: if your generator uses cimgui with imgui_internal.h parsing: both imgui.h and imgui_internal.h contents are output in the same file! PLEASE use the "location" metadata to detect internal contents and expose them differently to your users (e.g. separate namespace). Please do not expose internal contents to your users without them knowing about it!)

dear_bindings

https://github.com/dearimgui/dear_bindings (2021-2024)
Dear Bindings generates a C API for Dear ImGui, and metadata so other languages can easily generate their own bindings on top.
Can parse imgui.h, imgui_internal.h etc. and generate neatly decorated C versions (full comments, alignment).

litgen

https://pthom.github.io/litgen (2022-2024)
litgen is an automatic bindings generator from C++ to Python. It emits binary bindings and preserves the original documentation in a python stub (comparable to a C header file): compare imgui.h to its python translation. It can produce bindings for Dear ImGui and other libraries. It is used to maintain up to date bindings inside Dear ImGui Bundle (link).

---

Language Bindings

Note: those bindings may be more or less maintained, more or less close to the spirit of original API. People who create language bindings sometimes haven't used the C++ API themselves. Dear ImGui was designed for C++ and some of the subtleties may be lost in translation with other languages. If your language supports it, I would suggest replicating the function overloading and default parameters used in the original, else the API may be harder to use. In doubt, always check the original C++ version first!
