|
7 ===================================================== |
|

|
9 `CubicWeb` is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, |
|
10 that empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing |
|
11 components (called `cubes`) and following the well known object-oriented design |
|
12 principles. |
|
13 |
|
14 Its main features are: |
|
15 |
|
16 * an engine driven by the explicit :ref:`data model <DefineDataModel>` of the application, |
|
17 * a query language name :ref:`RQL <RQL>` similar to W3C's SPARQL, |
|
18 * a :ref:`selection+view <DefineViews>` mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation, |
|
19 * a library of reusable :ref:`components <cubes>` (data model and views) that fulfill common needs, |
|
20 * the power and flexibility of the Python_ programming language, |
|
21 * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends. |
|
22 |
|
23 Built since 2000 from an R&D effort still continued, supporting 100,000s of |
|
24 daily visits at some production sites, `CubicWeb` is a proven end to end solution |
|
25 for semantic web application development that promotes quality, reusability and |
|
26 efficiency. |
