Crux

An Apache Royale library based on Swiz Framework

The Crux framework for Apache Royale provides:

• Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) with Metadata
• Event handling with Metadata
• Simple life cycle for asynchronous remote method invocations
• Decoupling from application code

In contrast to other major frameworks for Royale, Crux:

• 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

Crux represents best practices learned from the top front end developers at some of the best consulting firms in the industry, enabling Crux to be simple, lightweight, and extremely productive.

This documentation is a migration from the official Swiz Framework docs here. The original documentation was created for the original Flex framework so it’s not 100% accurate for Royale.
