Example app/lib for using the .json metadata

[ocornut]

It feels that one thing which is lacking in this project is an actual example app/framework for using the JSON output and creating a backend out of it.

It'd be interesting an interesting experiment to confirm confirm that cimgui.h could be regenerated exactly the same from the JSON output.

Ideally that example may be a defactor framework to start working from to create other bindings.

In such scenario, for clarity I imagine the folder structure might be reworked, e.g. examples_app/ vs examples_binding_generator/.

Yeah, I like that idea. I'd been wondering about doing a C# wrapper as an experiment (and because I occasionally find myself wanting one), so that might make a good test-case.

In case it is useful as a reference, here's a bindings generator that I've written for Odin: https://gitlab.com/L-4/odin-imgui
It's reasonably fully featured, and supports both docking and master. This project has been extremely useful!
In particular you may be interested in gen_odin.py and imgui/imgui.odin.
I can say from experience that we're still a bit away from being able to reconstruct cimgui.h char for char, in particular I've had to reimplement comment alignment, which obviously then isn't the same as in the source.
