Warnings

  • There is limited documentation.
  • Breaking changes will be introduced frequently. We change the API whenever we feel this is an improvement.
  • We adopt new technologies relatively fast, and dropping support for older frameworks.
  • Only use this project if you are willing to dig into the code.
  • Although there is a general plan of where to go with this library there are not enough resources to go towards that goal in a systematic way. New functionality is driven by what is needed in our projects.
