Systems Architecture

 

The FeedHenry architecture follows best practice in loose coupling. Each component is independent and communicates with open APIs over HTTP. Where existing technologies work we have used them and where we have had to build our own we have built them on existing, standardized systems. The layered, loosely-coupled approach allows new and existing systems to slot in without requiring excessive integration work. The W3C Widget standard ensures that components integrate in a standard and open manner. Widget Hosts (Mobile, Desktop, Web, iGoogle, Facebook etc.) provide a common environment for widgets to operate in. Sensitive and limited-access systems can still work with FeedHenry through special adapters that balance the needs of security and functionality.

All of this achieves the goal of being part of the web and ensures your existing skills and knowledge can be applied to widget development.
