What is a code generator?

A code generator is a tool or resource that generates a particular sort of code or computer programming language. This has many specific meanings in the world of IT, many of them related to the sometimes complex processes of converting human programming syntax to the machine language that a computing system can read. One of the most common and conventional uses of the term “code generator” involves other resources or tools that help to turn out specific kinds of code. For example, some homemade or open-source code generators can generate classes and methods for easier or more convenient computer programming. This type of resource might also be called a component generator.
