Bigtop is a language for describing the data of a web application.
|
|
|
|
Usually this data will be stored in a relational database. Once you
|
|
|
|
have a description of your data, you can generate a web application
|
|
|
|
from it. This includes all the pieces you need like: the sql
|
|
|
|
statements ready for feeding to your database command line tool, the
|
|
|
|
httpd.conf you need to Include in the httpd.conf on your system, the
|
|
|
|
modules that will handle the web requests, the models that make the
|
|
|
|
database tables look like classes, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to alter the data model in the future, you can change your
|
|
|
|
original description to match the new reality, then regenerate the
|
|
|
|
application without fear of losing hand written code (though you may
|
|
|
|
have to modify some of it to reflect the new reality).
