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 handling
A simple life cycle for asynchronous remote method invocations
A framework that is decoupled from your application code
Compatibility with both Flex and non-Flex AS3 projects

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.
