= NOM the Netlabs Object Model =

NOM is the object model on which the Voyager desktop is based.

== About ==

The main feature of NOM is a release to release binary compatibility of classes.
This means that classes may be enhanced or added to the framework without
breaking other classes. These other classes may even be subclasses of the
modified class. Thanks to this feature it's possible to create binary only
extensions to the object model which won't break when the object model is
updated.
NOM allows to do object oriented programming with languages which are not designed as OO languages,
e.g. C.

== How to use NOM ==

Classes are described in an Interface Definition Language (IDL). An IDL compiler interprets the file and
outputs binding and template files for the programming language in question. Right now only
C is supported but other bindings are possible e.g. C++ or Pascal.
