PureMVC – Actionscript Application Framework

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Actually I wanted to gather some information about the well known Cairngorm framework to see how it works and what principles the implementation follows. But quickly I found out that there might be a new star on the horizon to admire:

PureMVC is a lightweight framework for creating applications based upon the classic Model, View and Controller concept.

Based upon proven design patterns, this free, open source framework which was originally implemented in the ActionScript 3 language for use with Adobe Flex, Flash and AIR, is now being ported to all major development platforms.”

My first impressions are very good. Especially I like the facts that it isn’t made for Flex only and it could be used without a singleton implementation.
