Bazel Starlark Build API

Bazel's build rules, macros, and module extensions are written in Starlark — a deterministic Python dialect. The Starlark Build API exposes the rule(), repository_rule(), module_extension(), aspect(), and provider() primitives used to declare build targets, generate actions, and integrate new languages. BUILD, BUILD.bazel, .bzl, MODULE.bazel, and WORKSPACE files are all evaluated by this API.

Bazel Starlark Build API is one of 5 APIs that Bazel publishes on the APIs.io network.

Tagged areas include BUILD, DSL, Extension, Rules, and Starlark. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.
