Libraries

What is Pawi ?

Pawi is a set of tools, libraries and editor helpers to make the creation of delicate and complex visuals simpler and faster by enabling:

  1. Code reuse (once a block is created, it can easily be reused in new projects, stable inter-block API)
  2. Code sharing (publishing blocks as npm package for others to use)
  3. Stability (library versions locked with npm, versioning, clear API surfaces)
  4. Fast feedback loop (live coding, visual programming)

The project uses the latest web technologies and tries to have the lowest possible impact on performance (a function call).
