Apache Celix

Apache Celix is an open-source implementation of the OSGi specification adapted to C and C++ developed by the Apache Software Foundation. The project aims to provide a framework to develop (dynamic) modular software applications using component and/or service-oriented programming.

Apache Celix is primarily developed in C and adds an additional abstraction, in the form of a library, to support for C++.

Modularity in Apache Celix is achieved by supporting - run-time installed - bundles. Bundles are zip files and can contain software modules in the form of shared libraries. Modules can provide and request dynamic services, for and from other modules, by interacting with a provided bundle context. Services in Apache Celix are "plain old" structs with function pointers or "plain old C++ Objects" (POCO).

History

Apache Celix was welcomed in the Apache Incubator at November 2010 and graduated to Top Level Project from the Apache Incubator in July 2014.

gollark: Yes, partially opposite, as I am not insane as nobody is.
gollark: <@341618941317349376> I do the opposite approach. Honestly, 90% of school is useless, do cool fun stuff.
gollark: Now that we're in the future the book could contain QR codes instead.
gollark: βραινφ*κ
gollark: I mean, can now. No idea about then.
