A framework for building high-performance, secure web applications in Ada 2012 with ready-to-use modules.
Ada Web Application (AWA) is a framework for building secure, high-performance web applications in the Ada 2012 programming language. It provides a collection of reusable modules for common web features like user management, authentication, blogs, and wikis, reducing development time. The framework integrates with multiple databases and emphasizes security through a flexible permission system.
Ada developers and teams building secure, production-grade web applications who want a modular framework with built-in features. It's also suitable for projects requiring integration with existing Ada libraries and databases.
Developers choose AWA for its robust security features, performance optimizations, and comprehensive set of pre-built modules tailored for Ada. Its integration with Ada's type-safety and reliability makes it a strong choice for mission-critical web applications.
Ada Web Application - Framework to build high performance secure web applications
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes ready-to-use modules for blogs, wikis, comments, tags, and votes, reducing development time for common web features as outlined in the Key Features section.
Features a flexible access control system and integrates OAuth 2.0 for authentication with providers like Google and Facebook, emphasizing security from the project philosophy.
Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MariaDB through Ada Database Objects, offering flexibility in database choice as described in the Database Support feature.
Comes with a built-in unit testing framework based on Ada Util and Ahven, ensuring reliability through comprehensive testing, mentioned in the Unit Testing Framework feature.
Requires manual configuration on Windows, building AWS with SSL for OAuth, and handling multiple dependencies, as the README notes 'a little bit more complex and manual' for Windows setup.
Being based on Ada, it has a smaller developer community and fewer available libraries compared to mainstream web development languages, limiting third-party integrations.
Assumes proficiency in Ada 2012, which is less common in web development, adding a barrier for teams not already invested in Ada, as implied by the target audience.
