Server/client side Javascript development framework.

Overview

Openmocha is an open source Javascript website application server and development framework. Quick soft-coding and clean hard-coding in Javascript on the client-side AND the server-side.

The goal of Openmocha is to maximize the fun and productivity of Javascript development by blending the gap between browser and server based scripting.

With Openmocha, a new project can be quickly soft-coded by creating custom Mocha Objects using the Web browser. As the project matures, these Mocha Objects can be re-factored and hard-coded in separate code files. The two approaches can be mixed at any time, patching hard-coded applications through soft-coding even during runtime.
