View Source Vectoree (Vectoree v0.0.2)

Vectoree provides a bunch of modules for working with tree-ish data structures. The data structure is kept flat, i.e. all data is stored in plain maps. Each map entry consists of a key of type TreePath and an arbitrary payload. The Tree module provides functions for working with the tree (map).

A TreeServer process acts as the central point, where the tree is assembled. Producers are "mounted", i.e. they contribute to the tree with their particular local tree (processes of types TreeSource and TreeProcessor). Consumers do listen on the tree and receive updates (processes of types TreeProcessor and TreeSink).

Sources, processors and sinks are behaviour modules, which are supposed to be extended for custom use.

The central server can be queried to return the aggregated subtree at a given path, i.e. it dispatches and receives the relevant local trees from all producers and reduces the data according to custom needs.
