Dragon Web Framework

Primary LanguageC#MIT LicenseMIT

Dragon Web Framework

A compilation of modules for faster web application development for ASP.NET.

Currently there are modules for E-Mail sending, Data Layer (based on Dapper) and Security Modules (HMAC Authentication for both Client and Server, Security Server).

Modules go through the following cycle:

  • Development: Use is not recommended, module may not survive.
  • Usable: Used in production. Goal is to stabilize the API. Module may stay in this phase for some time while it starts being used in multiple production projects.
  • Stable: No major flaws or API issues found while being used in multiple projects. Except API not to change. Can be used for production systems (via Nuget) but often lack in documentation.
  • Released: Reviewed documentation has been published.

All modules are licensed under MIT unless otherwise specified in the module itself.
