This repository contains numerous OLE Type Libraries in JSON format. These JSON files can be used to:

• For meta-programming while using OLE, for instance if you want to automate Excel.Application you can use Excel.json to obtain runtime (or compile-time) resources and type information.
• For building IDE tools (like intellisense / type information in VSCode plugins)
• For building VBA wrapper libraries (e.g. wrap Excel object library with stdVBA, to return stdEnumerators instead of collections etc.)
• For library/data analysis (e.g. finding out how many Classes don't have a Parent property etc.)

You can find exported JSON files in the /TypeLibs/ folder.
