lightweight Spring-like Dependency Injection Framework for C++

So you want to create C++ applications that are manageable, extensible and configurable?

This project is about bringing Dependency Injection into the C++ world in the simplest possible and least obtrusive way.

C++ is missing some features that are present in Java, for example reflection. So it is not possible to get in C++ the same as you have in Java, but you can get very close with... code generation.

The key idea is to take a set of POCO's (plain old c++ objects) together with an xml configuration file and automatically generate everything else that is needed (a Bean Factory). C++ objects can be really plain, there is no need to implement special interfaces, no need to add additional classes, wrappers, etc.

Code generator is written in java, so it runs on every platform. It generates C++ code of course.

This framework is currently in active development. Would you like to join? Questions or suggestions? PLEASE WRITE!
