API reference

This reference is generated directly from the source of every published DotBoxD package, so it always matches the code on main. Pick a namespace from the sidebar, or start with the entry points below.

Where to start

You want to…	Reach for
Define and host an RPC contract	DotBoxD.Services ([DotBoxDService], RpcPeer, RpcHost)
Import, validate, and run a kernel under policy	DotBoxD.Hosting (SandboxHost, SandboxPolicyBuilder)

Round-trip kernels as JSON IR	DotBoxD.Kernels.Serialization.Json (JsonImporter, JsonExporter)

Conventions

• Source-generator diagnostics are namespaced DBXS### (Services) and DBXK### (Kernels / plugins). See Reference › Diagnostics.
• Public abstractions and generators are opt-in sugar over public primitives — anything a generator emits, you can hand-write against the same public API.
