Bitweaver Framework
A Modular System for Developer Flexibility
NOTE: This is unofficial documentation. This page is an attempt to improve on the framework information found on bitweaverArchitecture. If you are looking for official documentation, please see that pages.
The Bitweaver application Framework offers a complete suite of core features in a higher modular design. The Bitweaver Framework is designed specifically for developer flexibility. To understand how Bitweaver is designed, you must understand that it is completely modular, on multiple levels.
Bitweaver is made of up three main parts, the Kernel, Liberty, and Packages.
NOTE: confirm this characterization
The Kernel is responsible for the setting up the database and manages package configuration.
Liberty is a handful of well designed base classes that are intended to be inherited from. By extending the classes, you get all the power of liberty - access control, content history, formatting like wiki parsing, html scrubbing, and more - without having to write any of the code yourself.
Bitweaver Packages are the largest grain of our modular architecture, they are intended to be large collections of features, such as the Wiki Package or the Blogs Package.
The primary goal for bitweaver was to place the fewest possible requirements on a package and provide the most flexible environment possible.
