wallaroo ******** Welcome to wallaroo! This is the source code for the wallaroo project. The main project page is at: http://wallaroolib.sourceforge.net/ All of our documentation is available starting from the home page: http://wallaroolib.sourceforge.net/ You can download the packages from sourceforge at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wallaroolib/ Introduction ============ Wallaroo is a lightweight yet powerful library for configurable creation and wiring of C++ classes. With Wallaroo you will be able to separate the setup phase (object building and wiring) from the logic of your classes. In addition, you will be able to change the class of your objects without rebuilding anything: in this way you can modify the behaviour of your application, or perform mock testing using the same executable. With Wallaroo you will be able to focus on the logic of your classes, without worrying about the wiring phase. This mechanism is called Dependency Injection (DI). Someone calls it Inversion of Control (IoC), but actually that has a broader meaning. Key features ============ - Lightweight but powerful - Header only - Multiplatform - Type Safe - DSL syntax for object creation and wiring - Object creation and wiring also by parsing one (or more) xml, json, or wal file - Shared library support - C++11 or boost interface - Doesn't use code generators Installation ============ See INSTALL for (generic) installation instructions.
