LibCodex-1.0

A reusable static-catalog library for World of Warcraft addons. LibCodex bundles a curated, pre-baked snapshot of game data — NPCs, items, spells, quests, zones, flight points, currencies, achievements, pets, mounts, and more — and grows it at runtime by observing what the player actually encounters.

Embed it once in your addon. Get a single, consistent lookup surface for the kind of data that's normally scattered across DBC dumps, Wowhead scrapes, and ad-hoc table dumps.

Why a "codex"?

Most WoW addons that need static data either ship a frozen snapshot (which goes stale) or scrape it at runtime (which is slow and incomplete). LibCodex does both: a bundled seed for instant availability, and a runtime adapter layer that fills gaps as the user plays. Saved data persists across sessions and (eventually) gets crowdsourced back to the published bundle.
