Tahiti is programmed in mainly in C++ using several toolkits and libraries.
Used toolkits:
- BCG Pro
MFC extension for native look and feel
- MFC
used for user interface on Win32
- XPCOM (XULRUNNER, Gecko)
Several features are used from the Gecko platform. Xulrunner is embedded in the Tahiti and is used as a component framework (XPCOM), JavaScript runtime and User interface.
Tahiti consists from several layers:
Application Layer
Domain Layer
Frame Layer
Architecture is shown on next picture. There are components on each layer - this way can be Tahiti easily extended and new functionality can be added.
There are three types of components:
- Shared Component
They are used as base application components (e.g. initialization of several subsystems, sockets...). Views are also implemented as shared components.
- Domain Component
Domain components are usually used from domain specific tasks as communication, data store, etc. These components are usually without user interface.
- Frame Component
Frame represents one window. These components are used for user-interface implementation.
