Integrant
A Clojure micro-framework for building applications with data-driven architecture using configuration maps.
What is Integrant?
Integrant is a micro-framework for Clojure and ClojureScript that facilitates data-driven application architecture. It allows developers to define and manage system components through configuration maps (typically in EDN format), enabling declarative dependency resolution and lifecycle management. The framework addresses the need for a flexible, reproducible way to compose applications without hardcoding component relationships.
Clojure and ClojureScript developers building medium to large applications who need a structured approach to managing component lifecycles, dependencies, and configuration across different environments (e.g., development, production).
Developers choose Integrant for its data-centric design, which separates configuration from implementation, making systems easier to reason about and modify. Its support for hot-reloading via suspend/resume, reusable expansions, and environment profiles provides a robust development workflow, especially when compared to more rigid alternatives like Component or Mount.
