LIMP is built as future-proof framework, for that it always adapted up-to-date standards and methodologies while it's in development. This makes LIMP mostly requiring up-to-date environnement to work.
LIMP is written with Python. As of the current version of LIMP it requires Python 3.7 or Python 3.8. Older versions of Python will not work and would require manual patching for essential elements of LIMP.
Under the hood, LIMP is heavily based on Python asyncio lib for internal communication between elements of LIMP. LIMP also uses aiohttp to handle connections over HTTP/2 Websocket, and HTTP/1 GET, POST interfaces.
Although LIMP depends mainly on HTTP/2 Websocket, however LIMP implements request-response calls over websocket. This allows developers to have more options when building their apps, while maintaining the advantages of websocket protocol, like preserving session info over the connection and faster messages transmission both ways.
LIMP Modules are described in Module API Reference. In most of its parts, LIMP Modules are Python classes with specific attributes of Python dicts, lists and strings. The classes are then scaffolded using BaseModule on two steps with __init__ and __initialise methods.
LIMP has an accompanying Sandbox tool. Originally designed to test LIMP SDK for Angular, the tool has proven to be much needed tool for debugging as well as assisting development of LIMP apps. LIMP Sandbox source can be cloned and built locally. LIMP Sandbox is also available on Github Pages for direct use over the following link: https://masaar.github.io/limp-sandbox/dist/limp-sandbox.
