1. A code generation system comprising: a memory configured to store application environment specifications and communication protocol specifications, an application environment specification specifying a target application environment of an application, and a communication protocol specification specifying a communication protocol; a processor system to implement a code generation application that is configured to: receive a schema, the schema describing a resource in a distributed computing environment; translate the received schema into a target-specific data model, the translation based on the application environment specification of the target application environment and the communication protocol specification, the target-specific data model comprising an Application Programming Interface (API) specific to the target application environment and the communication protocol; extract elements of the received schema that are usable by the application that communicates with the resource using an interface of the resource; using the extracted elements, generate a common object model in which the extracted elements are presented for an application developer, independent of the communication protocol; and provide the target-specific data model to the application that interacts with the interface of the resource by using the API of the target-specific data model to perform operations that are specific to communicating with the interface of the resource in the target application environment and using the communication protocol.
