# Dropbox v2 API client for OCaml

## Coverage

The current implementation is partial. The completion of the full API is a work

in progress. Pull requests are welcome.

## Preprocessor extension for the Dropbox JSON serializer

The documentation

defines 3 kinds of types:

1. Union

2. Open unions

3. Datatype with subtypes

Unions uses the `".tag"` field to specify which field in the object is

available. Open unions are unions that can contain new information as the type

is extended. Example:

```json

{

  ".tag": "conflict",

  "conflict": { ".tag": "folder" }

}

```

Datatype with subtypes are usually `struct`-based types that can be structurally

extended within the same object. They use the `".tag"` field to specify which

type is encoded. Example:

```json

{

  ".tag": "file",

  "name": "...",

  ...

}

```

The serializer allows for more situations than the one presented above. However,

those seem to be enough to cover the use cases of the API. The full serializer

documentation can be found [here](https://github.com/dropbox/stone/blob/main/docs/json_serializer.rst).
