HydraExpress provides a simple command line application for generating C++ code that is quick and easy to use. It is also a powerful application that can be customized through a series of options and properties to meet the needs of complex service-oriented applications.

This chapter introduces the basics of using the code generator and includes a listing of generated files and common options.

For a full list of generator options and detailed information on how to use them effectively, see “Generator Options.” For more information on the generated classes, see “Architecture of the Generated Classes.”
