Hi

I would like to create custom discoverer. For example, is it possible to write a discoverer for Python or Go?

Are there any examples or tutorials of doing this?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for looking to MoDisco!
The goal of the project is to provide an integration framework for model discovery components (and other related ones) as well as actual implementations of some of them for a given set of base technologies.

For having examples of already available model discoverers (and related metamodels), you should take a look to the MoDisco documentation (in MoDisco User Guide -> Technologies).
For instance, you can take a deeper look to the full Java metamodel and corresponding model discoverer.

If you want to develop your own discoverer and then plug it to the framework, you can use any technology you prefer with the condition that the produced artifact must be an EMF model (e.g. implement your specific parser, generate it automatically using Xtext, etc.).
To connect it, you will simply have to implement the MoDisco Discovery interface (cf. MoDisco User Guide -> Infrastructure -> Discovery Manager -> Developer Documentation).

I hope this helps.
