Gyp

In software development, "GYP" (Generate Your Projects) is a build automation tool. GYP was originally created by Google to generate native IDE project files (such as Visual Studio and Xcode) for building the Chromium (web browser) and is licensed as open source software using the BSD software license. The functionality of GYP is similar to the CMake build tool. GYP processes a file that contains a JSON dictionary in order to generate one or more target project make files. The single source .GYP file is generic whilst the target files are specific to each targeted build tool. Software projects being built using GYP include the V8 Javascript engine, the Google's web browser (Chrome), Node.js, Starcounter DBMS, WebRTC.
