What is Mebo ?

Mebo is an experimental framework focused in providing a unified interface across multiple domains.

The idea behing mebo is to provide a platform where evaluations and their requirements are defined in a simple matter. The way it is done lets you to build strict specifications with validations in a fairly expressive way.

Evaluations in Mebo are exposed by promoting implementations that don't need to be too coupled to a specific domain instead, most of the boilerplate code needed when bridging a domain (for instance on the web: request & response) to an evaluation is avoided and automatically handled by mebo (DRY).

By using mebo you can easily expose your evaluations through the web via REST/middlewares and also without much effort expose them through command-line (CLI coming handy during development/debugging to interact with your evaluations quickly).

So, you can use Mebo for desktop apps, web apps or all together.

Key features

• Flexible architeture. Mebo can be integrated to existing applications. Also, it's designed from ground up to be customizable and extendable

• Reliable executions. Mebo enforces validating the data used prior the execution of evaluations by performing a wide range of verifications

• Agnostic execution platform. Implementations using Mebo can be executed easily across different domains

• Integrated caching system. Mebo provides out-the-box integrated caching system

• Express integration. The web support in Mebo is done through express, embracing the most popular web framework for Node.js

• RESTful support. Evaluations can be executed through REST automatically

• CLI support. By using Mebo your evaluations can be executed through command-line interfaces following docopt specifications.
