pytheas

Pytheas is a Guice-Jersey based web application framework designed to allow quick prototyping and creation of web based tools that explore large data sources. Applications built on top of Pytheas consist of one or more loosely coupled modules, each encapsulating a data source and its corresponding UI elements. The framework provides a bundle of commonly used UI components for creating dynamic data exploration/visualization applications.

Features

• Uses Guice/Governator for application bootstrapping.
• Supports Jersey REST data source integration
• Loosely coupled modules with isolated data resource loading and rendering mechanism.
• Seamless aggregation of modules at runtime with minimal configuration
• Bundles rich UI components based on open source frameworks such as Bootstrap, JQuery-UI, DataTables etc.
• Jersey based REST endpoints for streaming server-side-events (SSE)
• Supports cross domain AJAX data using JSONP
