| | | Pyramid follows these design and engineering principles: |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Simplicity |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` takes a *"pay only for what you eat"* approach. You can get |
|---|
| | | results even if you have only a partial understanding of :app:`Pyramid`. It |
|---|
| | | doesn't force you to use any particular technology to produce an application, |
|---|
| | | and we try to keep the core set of concepts that you need to understand to a |
|---|
| | | minimum. |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` is designed to be easy to use. You can get started even if you |
|---|
| | | don't understand it all. And when you're ready to do more, :app:`Pyramid` |
|---|
| | | will be there for you. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Minimalism |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` tries to solve only the fundamental problems of creating a web |
|---|
| | | application: the mapping of URLs to code, templating, security, and serving |
|---|
| | | static assets. We consider these to be the core activities that are common to |
|---|
| | | nearly all web applications. |
|---|
| | | Out of the box, :app:`Pyramid` provides only the core tools needed for nearly |
|---|
| | | all web applications: mapping URLs to code, security, and serving static |
|---|
| | | assets (files like JavaScript and CSS). Additional tools provide templating, |
|---|
| | | database integration and more. But with :app:`Pyramid` you can *"pay only for |
|---|
| | | what you eat"*. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Documentation |
|---|
| | | Pyramid's minimalism means that it is easier for us to maintain complete and |
|---|
| | | up-to-date documentation. It is our goal that no aspect of Pyramid is |
|---|
| | | undocumented. |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` is committed to comprehensive and up-to-date documentation. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Speed |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` is designed to provide noticeably fast execution for common |
|---|
| | | tasks such as templating and simple response generation. |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` is designed to be noticeably fast. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Reliability |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` is developed conservatively and tested exhaustively. Where |
|---|
| | | Pyramid source code is concerned, our motto is: "If it ain't tested, it's |
|---|
| | | broke". |
|---|
| | | :app:`Pyramid` is developed conservatively and tested exhaustively. Our motto |
|---|
| | | is: "If it ain't tested, it's broke". |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | Openness |
|---|
| | | As with Python, the Pyramid software is distributed under a `permissive open |
|---|
