  Godot Engine is a free and open-source community-driven 2D and 3D game
  engine released under the MIT License and stewarded by the Godot
  Foundation. Godot ships an integrated editor plus a deep scripting and
  extension surface across three primary languages: GDScript (Godot's own
  typed scripting language), C# (via .NET 8 / Mono in the .NET build), and
  C++ (via GDExtension, the modern successor to GDNative, which lets native
  shared libraries register their own classes against the same API the
  built-in classes use). The engine API is documented per-class at
  docs.godotengine.org. In addition, the Godot Asset Library at
  godotengine.org/asset-library/api exposes a public REST API used by the
  in-editor AssetLib browser to list, search, fetch, and download community
  plugins, templates, tools, and demos. The Godot project source lives at
  github.com/godotengine/godot.

    name: Godot GDScript API
    description: >-
      GDScript is Godot's first-class scripting language, a high-level
      dynamically typed (and gradually statically typed) language with
      Python-like syntax and tight integration with the engine, the
      editor, and the scene tree. The same engine class API documented at
      docs.godotengine.org is exposed to GDScript callers and runs inside
      the engine rather than as a REST surface.

    description: >-
      Godot's .NET build ships C# bindings over the engine API, letting
      developers write game logic and editor tooling in C# against the
      same class library that GDScript and C++ see. C# support targets
      .NET 8 and is delivered in the dedicated "Godot Engine - .NET" build.

    name: Godot GDExtension (C++ Bindings)
    description: >-
      GDExtension is Godot 4's mechanism for binding native C++ (or any
      language with a C ABI) into the engine without recompiling Godot
      itself. GDExtension libraries register their own classes against
      the engine API and behave like first-class engine classes. The
      official godot-cpp binding repo provides the C++ API headers.

      Godot's editor can be extended in-place with EditorPlugin scripts
      that add docks, inspector plugins, import plugins, export plugins,
      gizmos, and custom tool windows. Editor plugins use the same engine
      class API exposed through GDScript, C#, or GDExtension.

      The Godot Asset Library REST API powers the community asset
      browser inside the Godot editor (AssetLib tab) and the website at
      godotengine.org/asset-library. It exposes endpoints to search and
      filter assets by category, support level, Godot version, license,
      and keyword, retrieve asset metadata and download URLs, and submit
      or update assets when authenticated. The library source and API
      definition live in the godot-asset-library repository.
