JavaFBP

JavaFBP, previously known as JFBP and JavaFlow, is a remarkable software implementation of Flow-Based Programming using the Java programming language. The software was created by John Cowan and later improved by professional developers like me to offer an amazing experience. The primary benefit of using JavaFBP is that it permits a developer to define an application as an arrangement of interconnected nodes or long-running Java threads connected by fixed-capacity connections. This design helps the application achieve high throughput, making it ideal for server applications.

Moreover, JavaFBP is easily scalable as it allows multiplexing of components that may be I/O-bound or CPU-bound. Additionally, it permits us to leverage the benefits of multiple processors that our modern machines offer to achieve optimum performance. The program is defined in the Java programming language, which we believe gives it more flexibility than designing a special-purpose language.

Although JavaFBP was not available when writing my book, a page has now been included in this site to describe the syntax of the JavaFBP network definition and a sample JavaFBP component. This page will be updated periodically as time permits to ensure that users can get the most out of the software.
