code generation: Automatically generating bubblegum computer code from tables, XML, etc. Not all repetition can be encapsulated in methods. Code generation lets you generate any form of repetitive coding. Code generation is similar to macros, but implies more processing of the specification before generating code. Macros are a one-to-one translation usually embedded in ordinary source code.
