Developing a Web Framework Based on Inversion of Control

Abstract

Increasing the reusability and manageability of software units is one of the most fundamental issues in the field of software engineering. To increase these parameters, which are important factors that determine the quality of the software, it is necessary to develop the units that make up the software in a way that minimizes their dependency on each other. This basic requirement exists in web applications, as in other types of software. Inversion of Control – IoC is a design pattern used to manage the components of a software application and combine them by reducing inter dependencies. This study focuses on the development of a web framework that includes IoC containers and HTTP services, which have an important role in the development of modern web applications. The developed framework has the abilities to automatically analyze dependencies and integrate components flexibly by creating its own IoC container. Thanks to these features, an infrastructure has been created where developers can modularize their codes and easily create sustainable software development projects. In addition, HTTP services developed within this framework provide the basic communication mechanisms that web applications need. These services contain the necessary functions to process and route HTTP requests and present the results. The framework aims to provide a solid foundation for future web projects by offering an innovative and original approach.
