SPOPS is a robust and powerful module that allows you to serialize objects. It
|
|
is unique in that it also allows you to apply security to these objects using
|
|
a fairly simple but powerful scheme of users and groups.
|
|
|
|
It's also unique in that for most objects, you will not need to write any code.
|
|
A fairly simple configuration file is all you need which you can then feed to
|
|
SPOPS and have a class for your object ready to go, right out of thin air.
|
|
|
|
The configuration you specify not only lists the properties of the object and
|
|
possibly some information about where its data should be stored, but can also
|
|
describe the relationship an object might have with another object (or
|
|
objects).
|
|
|
|
One great benefit is that you can retrofit SPOPS to existing data. If you
|
|
don't use any of the metadata layers or security, you can simply describe your
|
|
data in a configuration file, process the configuration and start making (and
|
|
processing) objects. If you want to add security to these objects later, it's
|
|
easy!
