cortex

NPM version Build Status

Cortex is a package manager for the web with a bunch of full-stack frontend solutions to make your websites better, including:

TL;DR

  • Frontend package management with much better version control;
  • Compatible backend solutions for JAVA and node.js (will open to public soon);
  • Development environment for your entire workflow;
  • CI solutions to support multiple testing environment simultaneously;
  • Global registry service;
  • CDN solutions.

With Cortex, we write web modules exactly the same as we do with node.js, with no Module/Wrappings, no AMD, etc.

Cortex is designed and maintained for large websites and collaborative development and is also convenient for small projects.

We have a nice small book on gitbook.io: The Handbook of Cortex

Naming

The modular world is much like the nerve system. JavaScript packages interact with others by passing runtime objects as well as neuron cells processes and transmits chemical signals to others.

So, cortex is a neuron manager. That's it.
