  What it is How to get it Why you should sponsor this project  


What it is:

Structs and Nodes Development (SAND) is a code generation framework based on dataflow. Data is defined by "structs", which may have update/query/collection verb forms. Flow is defined by a configuration of "nodes" that each accept and/or generate data synchonously or asynchronously. SAND is especially useful for data-intensive web applications. Read the technology description for an overview.

The SANDev project is an open source (LGPL) implementation of SAND for applications deployed to a servlet container/database environment.
