Win API calls with categories in JSON format

This repo provides a classification of Windows API (WinAPI) functions, including the Native API and Win32, according to their category. This repo is a revamp of winapi-json for your research and automation needs.

The list of categories defined can be found in categories.txt.

Usage

The JSON file comprising all MSDN API calls is already provided with the repo (winapi_categories.json).

Nevertheless, if you need to modify the script or re execute it, do it like so:
python3 generate_api_json.py ../winapi-json/api_by_category
or just
./generate_api_json.py ../winapi-json/api_by_category
where /winapi/api_by_category is the directory created after cloning the (original) aforementioned repo.

Structure

The resulting JSON file has the following structure. The dict structure was chosen with Python optimization in mind. Feel free to change it according to your needs:

{
	'API_name':{
		'category':'cat',
		'dll':'dll',
		'header':'header',
		'return_type':'type',
		'n_arguments':INT,
		'arguments':[{
			'in_out':'in_out',
			'type':'type',
			'name':'arg_name',
			'description':'descr',
			},
			{...},
			{...}]
	}
}

Caveats

If you see several \t\t\t in certain description fields, just ignore them or .strip() it when parsing. That's because the original repo also contains them.
