Jabberwocky Overview¶
The following packages are included as part of the Jabberwocky library suite.
The core libraries represent the common stack for developing on all new Sitecore solutions. The extra libraries are recommended (but entirely optional), and include specific features that can be included in solutions piecemeal.
The code analysis libraries are complements of their respective Core libraries, and provide diagnostics and code fixes for common patterns when using the respective Core libraries. They are highly recommended if you are developing in Visual Studio 2015.
Core Libraries¶
- Jabberwocky.Core
- Jabberwocky.Autofac
- Jabberwocky.Glass
- Jabberwocky.Glass.Autofac
- Jabberwocky.Glass.Autofac.Mvc
- Jabberwocky.WebApi
Extra Libraries¶
- Jabberwocky.Autofac.Extras.MiniProfiler
Code Analysis Libraries¶
- Jabberwocky.Core.CodeAnalysis (for Jabberwocky.Core)
- Jabberwocky.Glass.CodeAnalysis (for Jabberwocky.Glass)
Dependency Graph¶
The naming convention for each project attempts to make clear its dependencies.
For instance, the Jabberwocky.Core library contains no dependencies, and can be included in any standard .NET project.
Similar to the Core project, the Jabberwocky.Autofac project has no external dependencies other than Jabberwocky.Core and Autofac, and by extension, its dependencies (ie. Castle.Core). This means that the Jabberwocky.Autofac project may be used outside of Sitecore projects, wherever IoC may be desirable.
The Jabberwocky.WebApi project also has no dependencies other than on Jabberwocky.Core, and WebApi.
The remaining Jabberwocky.Glass.* projects all rely on Glass Mapper, with each subsequent package relying on more and more dependencies (Autofac, MVC). These packages are meant to bootstrap and codify Sitecore development with a common set of patterns and practices.
