LottieGen command-line code generator for Lottie-Windows
LottieGen is a tool for generating C#, C++, and other outputs from Lottie / Bodymovin JSON files. LottieGen is built as a .NET global tool, which means it will run anywhere .NET Core is available, including Linux and Mac.
LottieGen requires .NET Core 7.0 SDK or later.
Run without installation
Local builds can be run directly. Just install .NET Core 7.0, build the LottieGen.sln solution and run the output.
f:\GitHub\Lottie-Windows\LottieGen\DotnetTool\bin\AnyCpu\Debug\net7.0\lottiegen.exe
And of course you can copy LottieGen to a directory and run directly without installing it, for example:
copy f:\GitHub\Lottie-Windows\LottieGen\DotnetTool\bin\AnyCpu\Debug\net7.0\* d:\mybuildtools
