GYP is a tool created at Google for the Chromium project that generates native Visual Studio, Xcode and SCons and/or make build files from a platform-independent input format. It is highly specific to Chromium's specific use case and was not created for the general use.

Input configurations are specified in files with the suffix .gyp. Each .gyp file specifies how to build the targets for the "component" defined by that file. Each .gyp file generates one or more output files appropriate to the platform.
