Mezzanine

Mezzanine is an e-commerce management system for developers of high traffic, high volume e-commerce web sites. Our goal is to provide:

• Developer friendly APIs for building web shops with any modern language or web framework.
• Sophisticated back office tools for managing products, orders, customers, and related data.
• Plugin oriented architecture for interfacing with third party applications and services.

Current Status

Mezzanine is in the very early stages of development, and is not a production ready system. Currently, it consists of a mocked up Rails application that demonstrates:

• Some sample user interfaces
• Product modeling (and tests)
• REST API, plus some documentation

Right now we’re working to establish the basic UI, development, and documentation patterns for the project.

Mezzanine is released under the open source BSD License.
