Title: Welcome to Apache Celix
Links: links.mdtext
-Apache Celix is an implementation of the OSGi specification adapted to C. It
will follow the API as close as possible,
-but since the OSGi specification is written primarily for Java, there will be
differences (Java is OO, C is procedural).
-An important aspect of the implementation is interoperability between Java and
C.
-This interoperability is achieved by porting and implementing the Remote
Services specification in Celix.
+Apache Celix is an implementation of the OSGi specification adapted to C and
C++. It is a provides a framework to develop (dynamic) modular software
applications using component and/or service-oriented programming.
-Celix entered incubation in November 2010 and has graduated in July 2014. At
this moment we are migrating from the incubator to the Celix top level project.
+Apache Celix is primarily developed in C and adds an additional abstraction,
in the form of a library, to support for C++.
-## News
+Modularity in Apache Celix is achieved by supporting - run-time installed -
bundles. `Bundles` are zip files and can contain software modules in the form
of shared libraries.
+`Modules` can provide and request dynamic services, for and from other
modules, by interacting with a provided bundle context.
+`Services` in Apache Celix are "plain old" structs with function pointers or
"plain old C++ Objects" (POCO).
