Resources

• Unified Modeling Language (UML)
  pyswarm SDK uses as input for generation models notated in UML 2.0 and stored in XMI 2.1 standard.
• Model Driven Architecture (MDA)
  pyswarm SDK is based on an approach very similar to the MDA standard.
• Python
  pyswarm technology is written in Python and also generates Python applications.
• PostgreSQL
  pyswarm applications use PostgreSQL databases to store persistent data.
