Public API for DQMH Scripting

[bienieck]

I’d like to suggest making the DQMH scripting tools API public. This would allow new events or modules to be generated programmatically.

My use case: I’d like to take any non-DQMH library and generate a DQMH layer for the library’s public API. With some clever coding and discipline, this could automate the creation of a TestStand API based on DQMH, which would be incredibly useful.

Moreover, public APIs often encourage the development of supporting tools and promote the technology, especially within creative communities.

Since you're specifically mentioning TestStand, have you seen this nifty tool by Neosoft:

Yes, but this tool is like second phase (you need to have the DQMH module). I would like to automate the first phase (and then combine it with the second phase).

Side note: In my case, any messaging system with a broker would work (for example, NI AF or JDP ML), but DQMH seems to be the most popular choice nowadays. It’s also straightforward, so it’s a good fit.
