OSA Development
This page is dedicated to developer tools and considerations.
Perl
Perl is the native language of the initial OSA/OCE prototype, Fautore. Thusly this is likely to be the most robust section of this page for quite awhile.
Modules
Fautore was originally developed as a true prototype with adhoc code coming together to puzzle out how to best develop viable standards, software and API's to unify on-line communications and achieve Social Normalcy. Several modules are being constructed from that initial effort to ease future OSA oriented development in the future.
Structure
The structure of these modules is made up of a top level directory, "OSA" that holds general modules applicable to either app development, or OCE development. Beneath OSA are two other directories, the "App" and "OCE" directories. Each of these directories have in them modules that are specific to the function of developing Apps or an OCE.
Module Files
Each directory of the module structure contains files acting as categories for the functions within them.
| Mod File | Obj | Export | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Util.pm | X | General utilities to manage, examine or verify values and structures. | |
| Msgs.pm | X | Standard message handling function calls and standard message definitions. | |
| CfgMgr.pm | X | Standard configuration file reading designed to limit disk I/O | |
| Comm.pm | X | Communications functions used to pass data between an app and an OCE, or from one OCE to another. | |
| JSON.pm | X | Functions for moving data structure back and forth into and from JSON format. |
| Mod File | Obj | Export | Description |
