Apache Celix

Apache Celix is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> implementation of the <a href="/facts/OSGi/qh2yzbsu">OSGi</a> specification adapted to <a href="/facts/C_/Ky2No763">C</a> and <a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a> developed by the <a href="/facts/Apache_Software_Foundation/Xl9Tt9lE">Apache Software Foundation</a>. The project aims to provide a framework to develop (dynamic) modular software applications using component and/or <a href="/facts/Service-oriented_programming/36PYdNty">service-oriented programming</a>.
Apache Celix is primarily developed in C and adds an additional abstraction, in the form of a library, to support for C++.
Modularity in Apache Celix is achieved by supporting - run-time installed - bundles. Bundles are zip files and can contain software modules in the form of shared libraries. Modules can provide and request dynamic services, for and from other modules, by interacting with a provided bundle context. Services in Apache Celix are "plain old" structs with function pointers or "plain old C++ Objects" (POCO).
