ZOMB provides an API-driven HTTP back-end for an IRC bot style command processor, where functionality is implemented in remotely-hosted HTTP based plugin services.
To actually "use" ZOMB, a client application is required:
The following are commands issued by a user via a ZOMB client (see zomb-web as an example). The same interactions may be achieved programmatically via the Client API.
Instructions are given in the following format:
<plugin-name> <command> [arguments]
<plugin-name>
name of an installed plugin<command>
a command which exists within the plugin specified[arguments]
many commands require additional arguments, which may be passed to the command as a space-separated list. multi-word arguments may be surrounded by double or single quotes
In order for ZOMB to be useful, plugins must be added. Plugins implement the actual functionality ZOMB provides.
Plugin management is achieved using the same language and request style as normal usage.
