🌟 Why Reframe?

In the evolving world of financial messaging, clarity and control are non-negotiable. Reframe was built to provide a powerful, open-source alternative to proprietary, black-box solutions for SWIFT MT and ISO 20022 transformation. It's designed for financial institutions that demand auditable logic, elite performance, and complete control over their messaging workflows.

🔍 Full Transparency: Say goodbye to black boxes. Every transformation rule is defined in human-readable JSON and is fully auditable.
⚡ Blazing-Fast Performance: Built in Rust, Reframe delivers sub-millisecond processing speeds, ensuring your operations are never bottlenecked.
🔧 Total Configurability: Define your own business logic and mappings with a simple yet powerful JSON-based configuration system.
🔌 Extensible by Design: A modular, pluggable architecture makes it easy to customize or extend Reframe to meet your specific needs.

🚀 Key Features

🔄 Core Transformation Engine

True Bidirectional Processing: Seamlessly transform messages both ways:
- Forward: SWIFT MT → ISO 20022 (MX)
- Reverse: ISO 20022 (MX) → SWIFT MT
Broad Message Support: Extensive coverage for over 30 message variants across payments, cash management, and status reporting families.
Intelligent Routing: Automatic message type detection and routing to the correct transformation workflow.

🏗️ Built for the Enterprise

High Availability: A stateless, container-native architecture allows for effortless horizontal scaling.
Zero-Downtime Updates: Hot-reload configurations and workflows on the fly via an API endpoint, no service restarts required.
Production-Ready: Comes with comprehensive error handling, monitoring, and observability baked in.
Simple Deployment: Ships as a single, lightweight Docker image for easy deployment in any environment.

📋 Unmatched Transparency & Control

Externalized JSON Rules: All transformation logic is stored in clear, auditable JSON files—no hidden or compiled logic.
Powerful Workflow Engine: Backed by a sophisticated dataflow engine (dataflow-rs) to model complex processing pipelines.
Declarative Logic: Utilizes datalogic-rs to enable powerful and clear declarative logic for complex field mappings.

🏆 How Reframe Compares

Feature	Reframe v3.0	Traditional Solutions
Standards	✅ SR2025 compliant (November 2025 release)	❌ Often lagging on latest standards
Transparency	✅ Open source with 100% auditable JSON rules	❌ Proprietary, black-box logic
Transformation	✅ Fully bidirectional (MT ↔ MX)	❌ Often one-way or limited reverse
Performance	✅ Rust-powered (sub-millisecond)	❌ Slower, often JVM-based
Configuration	✅ Hot-reloadable JSON, no downtime	❌ Requires vendor intervention
License	✅ Apache 2.0 (Free to use and modify)	❌ Expensive, restrictive licensing
Deployment	✅ Lightweight, single Docker container	❌ Heavy, complex infrastructure

🎮 Get Started in Minutes

🐳 With Docker (Recommended)

The fastest way to get Reframe running.

# Pull the latest image from Docker Hub
docker pull plasmatic/reframe:latest

# Run the container and expose the API on port 3000
docker run -p 3000:3000 plasmatic/reframe:latest

# The API is now live and waiting for requests at http://localhost:3000

🔧 From Source

For developers who want to build from the ground up.

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/GoPlasmatic/Reframe.git
cd Reframe

# 2. Build the project in release mode (optimized for performance)
cargo build --release

# 3. Run the application
./target/release/reframe

🌐 Try It Now

Use curl to send your first transformation request.

# Example: Transform an MT103 to a pacs.008
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/transform/mt-to-mx \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "{1:F01BNPAFRPPXXX0000000000}{...}"}'

# Example: Transform a pacs.008 back to an MT103
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/transform/mx-to-mt \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><Document>...</Document>"}'

# Example: Hot-reload workflows after a configuration change
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/admin/reload-workflows
