openlayered

Openlayered refers to a conceptual or practical approach where a system, application, or platform is designed with multiple distinct layers of functionality, abstraction, or responsibility. This layered architecture allows for greater modularity, maintainability, and flexibility. Each layer typically interacts with the layer directly above or below it, exposing a defined interface and hiding its internal implementation details.

In software development, this is commonly seen in the form of multi-tier architectures, such as presentation, business logic, and data access layers. This separation of concerns enables developers to modify or replace one layer without significantly impacting others. For instance, the user interface (presentation layer) can be changed without altering the core business logic.

The "open" aspect of openlayered suggests that these layers are either accessible for extension or customization, or that the interfaces between layers are well-documented and standardized, promoting interoperability. This openness can facilitate integration with other systems or the development of third-party extensions. The principle of openlayered design aims to reduce complexity and promote reusability across different parts of a system.
