moduleja

Moduleja is a modular software framework and package ecosystem designed to support the development of scalable, maintainable software through a component-based architecture. It emphasizes decoupled modules, explicit dependencies, and a centralized registry of modules.

Modules are self-contained units with a defined interface. Each module declares dependencies, exports, and lifecycle hooks. The runtime loads modules through a resolver that satisfies dependencies and isolates modules via sandboxing or scoped execution contexts.

Moduleja uses a manifest file, such as moduleja.json, to declare metadata, dependencies, version constraints, and entry points. A registry stores published modules with versioning and compatibility metadata. The combined information enables deterministic builds and runtime loading strategies.

Projects are organized into modules, with a top-level application module that composes others. Build tooling bundles modules into a single artifact or loads them dynamically at runtime. The framework supports plugin modules for extensibility, allowing additional features to be added without modifying core code.

The design of Moduleja aims to improve testability and reuse by separating concerns and enabling independent development of modules. It is used in various domains, including web applications and backend services, where modular composition is beneficial.
