The Carbon Component Framework

Carbon is a light-weight component model and services framework providing enterprise quality services. Carbon is built on the following principles:

• Create a more flexible architecture via a decoupled, metadata-centric system
• Reduce complexity by providing access to services as small replaceable components
• Encourage the separation of concerns, resulting in code assets that are easier to maintain, adapt and reuse in a complex and dynamic operating environment
• Improve quality with highly documented, fully tested code
