Features

As a core platform, Parsek provides essential features such as routing, plugin support, and a built-in health check system. Additional functionality for a Parsek application is delivered through plugins, allowing flexible and modular feature expansion.

Routing

Parsek features a dynamic routing mechanism, enabling easy addition, modification, or removal of routes. Powered by Vert.X Web's router, it enhances Parsek with automatic cookie and parameter management, adding even more flexibility. For more details, refer to the Plugin Development section.

Plugins

Plugins are the cornerstone of any Parsek back-end application, offering extensive flexibility and extendability to empower developers with limitless possibilities.

• Events

  Events offer a powerful way to extend the functionality of the Parsek or other plugins based on your needs. You can also create custom events to provide additional API support for other plugins, enhancing integration and flexibility.

• Life Cycles

  Plugin life cycles in Parsek offer dynamic capabilities such as enabling and disabling plugins, loading and unloading data, and handling heavy data processing during startup or in the background, providing flexibility and control over plugin management.

• Built-in Configuration System

  Parsek’s built-in configuration system simplifies configuration management for plugins, including seamless migrations. Currently, all plugin configurations are stored in a single file, but this approach is expected to evolve in version 3.

• Annotations

  Parsek provides annotations for simplifying the creation of HTTP routes and managing dependency injection, offering a faster and safer approach to streamline development.

• Dependency Injection

  Parsek utilizes Spring's context for seamless dependency injection between the core platform and plugins, ensuring efficient management of dependencies throughout the application.

Health Check System

Parsek includes a built-in health check mechanism that monitors its status. If the system is healthy and running, it returns an HTTP 200 response with the following JSON payload:

GET /api/health (with default API prefix)

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "result": "ok"
}

If not healthy, it may not return anything at all or may return an error in the future.
