About the Project Name

The name Hyper comes from the hypermedia concept.

Hyper Stack: Hypermedia-style JSON DTO

• Extendable JSON format which describes how the frontend UI should behave and look
• Uses concept known as a hypermedia API. The API can dynamically provide links and descriptions from the backend and interactions back to the backend.
• Describes dynamically how the UI should behave when specific events happen, e.g. buttons clicked or events from the backend arrive

Hyper APIs: Backend service(s) which return interfaces which Hyper App will use

• Includes domain specific business models, logic and UI themes and styles
• You can write your backends with any language, like Python, Java or even C++.
• Intended to allow real life usable micro service toolchain. Parts of your server could be implemented as separate projects or even with multiple languages.
• Our example implementations are written with TypeScript and use HG framework.

Hyper Server: Backend server running Hyper components

• Provides common framework to run Hyper components (e.g. feature modules, APIs and serving Hyper App)
• Extendable with Hyper Modules
• Server-side rendering support for Hyper App (ReactJS)
• Compiles as single JavaScript file with only dependency for latest NodeJS

Hyper Module: Independent backend features

• Implements a single backend feature in a CRUD database
• As independent as possible
• The implementation can be written with any language
• Can be integrated with other systems using pure SQL connections

Hyper App: Frontend app which interacts with Hyper APIs

• No domain specific code, business logic or themes or styles
• Similar to a browser: Browser inside a browser
• Our implementation is written in TypeScript and ReactJS. There could be other implementations later.

Hyper CLI: Command line interface to Hyper APIs for scripting

• Command line interface that can be used to interact with the backend service -- just like the frontend
• Useful for testing, automating and mocking
• Our implementation will be written in TypeScript and NodeJS. There could be other implementations later.
