Iliad is a Smalltalk web application framework. It is designed to be simple
|
|
and make web development as effective as possible.
|
|
|
|
Iliad's features include:
|
|
- reusable stateful widgets
|
|
- REST applications
|
|
- simple API
|
|
- easy to setup and deploy (no complicated configuration step)
|
|
- automatic AJAX: Thanks to its javascript layer, Iliad automagically
|
|
updates widgets using AJAX. If javascript is not enabled, the behaviour
|
|
remains the same by making normal requests, so you don't have to worry
|
|
about that.
|
|
|
|
Iliad reuses pieces of code from other libraries. In particular, the
|
|
dispatch pattern is adapted from HttpView2, the composite element
|
|
hierarchy for building HTML from AIDA/Web, and the stateful Widgets from
|
|
Seaside, however without using continuations.
|
|
|
|
Iliad is a young piece of code, but it is already very functional and can
|
|
support relatively heavy load without stability issues. Because it is
|
|
young, API changes are not guaranteed to be backward compatible until 1.0
|
|
release.
