Runtime library

Spine references types and functions that are not defined in your .spine files but come from runtime type libraries.

The detailed, generated developer reference now lives in the Runtime libraries catalogue. It includes the bundled core library, datetime library, control-plane runtime library, types, methods, namespace functions, signatures, and examples.

Bundled core library

The platform ships a default library bound to the dataspine-core library id in the com.dataspine namespace. Start with Dataspine core for the generated reference.

Datetime library

Datetime types and operations are documented under Datetime.

Adding libraries

Pass --lib to dataspine check and dataspine compile when your product imports types from supplementary schema bundles.

Value encoding (internal)

Types that cross process boundaries use the platform's internal binary layout when not using JSON. The specification is in Internal binary serialization.
