QiQu

QiQu is a fantastic open-source framework that fully supports Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) and Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) approach. The project operates on the concept of converting a UML-model into source-code, such as Java, C#, Cobol, etc. With QiQu, developers have the flexibility to build their own domain-specific generators, which can transform their models into the code of their choice while keeping the original architectural design intact.

One of the significant benefits of QiQu is that developers are not limited to predefined transformation engines or cartridges, or any predefined transformation rules. With QiQu, developers have complete control over their development process and can tailor their approach to fit their individual and business needs. Furthermore, as QiQu heavily relies on XML, developers can convert from any XML-format into anything else, which includes XML, HTML, DDL-scripts, Excel, and more.

Additionally, if the converting features of QiQu do not answer developers' demands, they can quickly create additional functionality to write the result of their conversion into a database, for example, or merge the information of a UML-Model with the result of a SQL-Query. The possibilities with QiQu are endless, and we are confident that developers will find new and exciting ways to utilize this powerful framework.
