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: This is what the ICMPv6 is for, of course.
gollark: Networking truly is amazing.
gollark: This is because they travel on IP networks, which are fairly widely deployed.
gollark: You can hide from ICMP packets, but you *cannot* run.
gollark: And by arbitrary I mean nonarbitrary.
