The Epeios Research Project

The Epeios project is a research project in computer engineering, with the purpose of elaborating a framework for producing the most technically advanced software solutions.

This is achieved through the development of Free Software (GNU AGPL licensed):

The first source code was made online on may 1999 and available through public VCS since august 2000.

Some topics covered by this project:

• XDHTML : a new way of developing user interfaces of all kinds (desktop, web, mobile…):
  • using only one language (C++; yes, even for web applications),
  • with bindings available, currently, for Java, Node.js, PHP… (http://atlastk.org/),
  • allowing to customize the appearance of the interface without writing a single line of code,
• a new and very powerful way to handle the configuration of software components, with very easy handling of input arguments, in peculiar command-line ones (easier to use as getopt),
• a frontend/backend communication protocol, where the backend's API is automatically generated (as C++ header, but can be applied to other languages); more about this in progress,
• wrappers to ease the use of native code in various runtimes, in order to improve programs written in interpreted languages:
  • JREq for the JRE (Java),
  • NJSq for Node.js (server-side Javascript),
  • ZNDq for the Zend engine (PHP),
• XPPq : an XML preprocessor, to handle file inclusion, macros and variables inside XML files, available as command-line program, but also, by using above wrappers, for Java, Node.js and PHP (comes also with an XML parser),
• under development, also available as command-line program, and for Java, Node.js and PHP, RNCq, a rational number calculator, with absolute precision.

If you would like to support this project, there is a donations page.

Almost all Epeios software component .

You can me hire as software engineer for the conception and development of your own software components.

Atlas toolkit: writing user interfaces without framework.

• Tools: software with command-line interface, and also (progressively) available as Java, Node.js, PHP… components.
• Apps: software with graphical interface.

• Compilation: instructions on how to compile Epeios software components,
• Configuration: about the configuration of Epeios software components,
• Installation: about the installation of Epeios software component; in progress - will supersede the above Compilation page.

• Reminder: essentially for the developer.
