Chainmaille API
Chainmaille maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the aspect-ratio and ring numbers a maille artist weaves to. The aspect endpoint computes the all-important Aspect Ratio = inner diameter ÷ wire diameter, and solves for whichever of the three you are missing, then lists the weaves that ring will make: AR, not absolute size, decides everything — too low and the rings won’t close through each other, too high and the weave goes floppy, so a 6.4 mm ID on 1.6 mm wire is AR 4.0, good for European 4-in-1, Byzantine, box chain and more. The ring endpoint does the material maths: wire per ring ≈ π × (inner diameter + wire diameter) — the mean-diameter circumference — so those AR-4 rings take about 25 mm of wire each and weigh roughly 0.4 g in steel; pass a wire length to get how many rings it yields, or a ring count to get the total wire and weight, in any of nine metals from aluminium to silver. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for chainmaille, jewelry, cosplay-armour and maker app developers, ring-buying and project-estimator tools, and craft software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Dimensions in mm. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. For wire-gauge ↔ mm use a wire-gauge API.
