Phoenix2 modules and libraries

Phoenix2 is a modular software framework composed of a large collection of independent libraries and components designed for scientific and technical software development. It provides reusable building blocks that can be integrated into larger applications, promoting consistency, maintainability, and scalability across projects.

Each module in Phoenix2 is developed with a strong focus on modularity and composability, allowing developers to selectively use only the components they need. This design reduces dependencies and keeps applications lightweight while still providing rich functionality for data processing, communication, configuration management, and tooling.

The ecosystem currently consists of approximately 80 projects, each addressing a specific technical domain. These projects are structured into well-defined categories to simplify navigation and usage within the framework.

The Phoenix2 ecosystem is organized into several functional categories, each grouping related modules according to their purpose and level of abstraction. The following sections present these categories and provide an overview of the available components within each domain.

  • Code Generation - Tools and executables for generating projects, code, and classes from config files.
  • Serialization - Libraries for serializing and deserializing data from any type in various formats, including binary representation.
  • File Parsing - Libraries for parsing and processing structured text files, including configuration files and data formats.
  • Mock Testing - Libraries for creating mocks. Mocking the API of a class or function allows for testing code in isolation, without relying on external dependencies.
  • Network Management - Libraries for managing network connections, including protocols, sockets, and communication patterns.
  • CI/CD Integration - Tools and libraries for integrating Phoenix2 projects into continuous integration and deployment pipelines based on gitlab-ci components.
  • Vectorization - Libraries for vectorizing code, enabling SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) operations for improved performance on modern hardware architectures.
  • Documentation Tools - Libraries and tools for generating and managing documentation for Phoenix2 projects, including support for Markdown and other formats.
  • Benchmarking - Libraries and tools for benchmarking code performance, measuring execution time, and analyzing performance characteristics of softwares.
