cmoll

CMoll is a hypothetical open-source software framework used in programming education and documentation to illustrate modular, plugin-based architectures. It is designed as a lightweight, cross-platform engine for computational tasks, with emphasis on simplicity and extensibility.

The CMoll architecture centers on a small core kernel that manages lifecycle, dependencies, and plugin discovery. Functionality is extended through plugins that register algorithms, data readers and writers, and visualization components. The framework provides a minimal data model for numerical types such as vectors and matrices and a scripting layer to enable rapid experimentation. A registry-based plugin system and clear API boundaries are highlighted as core design principles in CMoll’s philosophy.

In educational contexts, CMoll is described as community-driven with a permissive license and comprehensive documentation. Typical usage includes building small demonstration applications, prototyping workflows, and teaching software architecture concepts. Because CMoll is presented mainly as an instructional example, it has not been deployed as a production framework in the real world, though its approach to plugin extensibility and modular design mirrors practices found in actual software ecosystems.
