Solvent-Configr

Solvent-Configr is a configuration platform and environment for teams. Solvent-Configr uses object graphs instead of static file formats (JSON,YAML,XML..etc) to provide powerful capabilities not possible using conventional configuration approaches.

Beyond obvious applications of configuration such as those we are used to seeing being expressed in YAML, JSON, XML..etc, virtually anything can be modeled as an object, it turns out having a robust object construction platform such as Solvent-Configr lends itself to applications for many other solutions.

Solvent-Configr is so powerful that it forms the basis for the Solvent-Lowcodr platform for building low code web application development solutions.

Solvent-Configr is based on an object graph technology which allows a user to construct object graphs of any complexity or composition. Solvent-Configr can be used for everything from DevOps, ML, product catalogs, taxonomy creation...etc

Solvent-Configr object graphs can be integrated directly into Solvent applications. For instance a developer can use an object graph representing a product catalog to populate an e-commerce site. Because the construction of object graphs isn't based on any particular syntax, non-technical users can work side-by-side technical people, allowing all parties to contribute to the creation of products/services on a single platform.

Note that Solvent-Configr is a product built on top of the Solvent-WebApps product platform, specifically, Solvent-Configr is based on the Smart Object feature of the Solvent platform. This means Solvent-Configr objects can be seamlessly integrated into Solvent-WebApps application code/logic to power all sorts of solutions.

Whether you're doing DevOps,Machine Learning or Web development, chances are you maintain configuration in the form of hierarchical formats (JSON, YAML, XML..etc), a key design goal for many hierarchical information formats is to strike a good balance between machine readability (parsing) and human readability.

Unfortunately no matter how human readable these formats are, they quickly become a challenge to deal with once the structure of the information becomes complex. Editing complex JSON or YAML files is a challenge. Through its hyper-navigation capabilities, Solvent-Configr provides a number of features to make managing and working with complex hierarchical information very easy.

At it's core, Solvent-Configr object graphs are just a bunch of Solvent smart objects calling other smart objects; in other words objects having references to other objects, thus forming an object graph. The resulting evaluation of smart of objects are plain-old-java-objects (POJOs).

Solvent-Configr turns the standard IDE of the Solvent platform into an object manipulation environment. In other words while files and folders are the core artifacts of the standard IDE environment, objects are the core artifacts of the Solvent-Configr environment.
