Seltzer Is Becoming KiwiEngine's Communication Layer
Road To KiwiEngine #43: An application can't live entirely inside itself. Eventually, something has to come in. A request. A form submission. An API call. A webhook. A client asking for data. And eventually, something has to go back out. A response. JSON. An error. A resource. A status. That's where Seltzer fits into KiwiEngine. If Juice helps describe how an application looks, Sig makes its…
KiwiEngine is introducing Seltzer as its communication layer to handle how applications interact with external systems. HTTP is pervasive in web development, but its details often get overlooked. Seltzer aims to manage this infrastructure, preventing applications from repeatedly solving the same problems. By separating HTTP concerns from the application's domain logic, Seltzer allows developers to focus on the core functionality of their applications rather than the underlying communication mechanisms.
This separation enables consistent request and response handling across different applications, making APIs more predictable and easier to work with. As KiwiEngine evolves, Seltzer will be crucial for managing communication between systems, including external services, webhooks, and payment systems. The goal is to reduce the cognitive load on developers by providing a stable foundation for application communication.
