Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
I’ve been working on an application, using the XEO Framework<\/a>, for a while now and there were two situations that I wanted to improve. First it was my inability to write unit tests for my application’s logic (using JUnit<\/a>, for example) and the other was I had trouble finding which attributes were being used where and overall can’t rely on the compiler to help me out. XEO’s API is very flexible and all but I thought that in order to address these two issues I would have to come up with something on my own.<\/p>\n Notice: This work is not associated with the XEO Framework, although I do work at ITDS (which creates the framework), XALPI does not reflect anything but my own opinion and effort on the subject.<\/p>\n Meet XALPI<\/a>! (beta)<\/p>\n XALPI stands for X<\/strong>EO AL<\/strong>ternative API<\/strong> and is a personal<\/em><\/strong> attempt to create a more convenient (for me) API and allow the creation of unit tests. It’s an open source project that you can find on Bitbucket<\/a>, licensed under the BSD license<\/a>\u00a0(rev3), meaning you can do just about anything with it.<\/p>\n You can download it here<\/a> (see the instructions at the wiki page).<\/p>\n So, what makes XALPI<\/a> different from XEO’s original API?<\/p>\n Each of these situations is (I hope) well explained at the wiki. Although some information may still be missing ( it’s beta after all ) I will, to the best of my abilities, complete it as fast as I can.<\/p>\n An example? Compare the following code (current API) :<\/p>\n With this (XALPI) :<\/p>\n Check out the rest at the wiki page<\/a> and tell me if you like it. I’m open to suggestions and improvements<\/p>\n Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" XALPI Hi everyone, I’ve been working on an application, using the XEO Framework, for a while now and there were two situations that I wanted to improve.
