Machine-readable XML specification of the XNA 4.0 API, converted from the official Microsoft documentation.
This repository contains a complete description of every XNA 4.0 class, struct, enum, interface, and delegate — including all properties, methods, constructors, fields, and events with their original descriptions. It is intended for:
- Auditing C++ reimplementations of XNA 4.0 (comparing what is implemented vs. what is missing)
- Generating API completeness reports
- Serving as a self-contained offline reference without needing the original HTML documentation
You can convert these XML files into a website. A new web directory will be created.
