Imagination is a reusable component framework whose objectives are:

  • encapsulates an object into a single object with the lazy loader, inspired by many frameworks (e.g., Symfony Framework in PHP and Spring Framework in Java),
  • improves code maintainability by encapsulating reusable components (or dependencies) in a global memory, inspired by JavaBeans,
  • introduce the concept of the aspect-oriented programming (AOP), inspired by AspectJ.

Note

Imagination plays the big role in Tori Web Framework (http://shiroyuki.com/work/project-tori) dealing with clean routing and globally referencing to any defined reusable components.
