Albatross is a small and flexible toolkit for developing highly stateful web applications. The toolkit is lightweight enough to use for CGI applications. It provides the following:
Pagination of sequences and tree browsing are handled implicitly in the templating system.
Macros allow repeated HTML and special effects HTML to be defined in one location.
Lookup tables translate internal program values to arbitrary template code.
A primary design goal of Albatross is that it be small and easy to use and extend. Most of the toolkit is constructed from a collection of mixin classes. You are encouraged to look at the code and to think of new ways to combine the Albatross mixin classes with your own classes.
Object Craft developed Albatross because there was nothing available with the same capabilities which they could use for consulting work. For this reason the toolkit is important to Object Craft and so is actively maintained and developed.
