What is Swiz?
Swiz is a framework for Adobe Flex, AIR, and Flash that aims to bring complete simplicity to RIA development. Swiz provides:
- Inversion of Control / Dependency Injection
- Event handing and mediation
- A simple life cycle for asynchronous remote methods
- A framework that is decoupled from your application code
In contrast to other major frameworks for Flex, Swiz:
- Imposes no JEE patterns on your code
- No repetitive folder layouts
- No boilerplate code on your development
- Does not require you to extend framework-specific classes
Swiz represents best practices learned from the top RIA developers at some of the best consulting firms in the industry, enabling Swiz to be simple, lightweight, and extremely productive.
