About:
Plank is a framework for generating immutable model objects with JSON schemas. It automatically generates boilerplate code in multiple languages, ensuring data consistency and type safety. Its main value is reducing bugs and simplifying state management in complex applications.
Key Features:
  • Multi-language code generation (Objective-C, Java, Swift, TypeScript)
  • Immutable data models by default
  • JSON Schema support for defining data structures
  • Built-in runtime validation and diffing
Use Cases:
  • Generating type-safe model classes for mobile and web applications
  • Enforcing data consistency across client and server boundaries
  • Automating boilerplate code for complex data schemas
Alternatives:
  • JSONModel – Plank generates immutable code at build time, while JSONModel creates mutable objects at runtime
  • Protobuf – Protobuf uses its own schema format and binary protocol, while Plank works with JSON and focuses on code generation
