Install cost
What you actually take on by adding xcode to a project.
Runtime packages this one declares itself.
Distinct packages in the full runtime tree, deduplicated the way a package manager would.
Unpacked size of this package plus its entire runtime tree.
Longest resolved dependency chain below this package.
Part of this dependency tree has not been crawled yet, so these figures are a lower bound rather than a final total.
Licenses in the dependency tree
Every license you inherit by installing xcode, not just its own. Check this before a legal review, not after.

Quick start
A usage example from the xcode README.
// API is a bit wonky right now
var xcode = require('xcode'),
fs = require('fs'),
projectPath = 'myproject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj',
myProj = xcode.project(projectPath);
// parsing is async, in a different process
myProj.parse(function (err) {
myProj.addHeaderFile('foo.h');
myProj.addSourceFile('foo.m');
myProj.addFramework('FooKit.framework');
fs.writeFileSync(projectPath, myProj.writeSync());
console.log('new project written');Dependencies
