Juniper

Juniper is an .NET 7 and TypeScript framework for building WebXR applications. It is an evolution of my previous project, Primrose. View the Juniper GitHub repository.

Juniper provides a number of major elements:

• A light set of conventions for configuring ASP.NET Core projects with Kestrel.
• A build tool, based on ESBuild, for managing TypeScript projects.
• C# libraries for a variety of tasks:
  • configuring HTTP servers (Kestrel),
  • graph solving,
  • units of measure conversion, and
  • media asset management, decoding, and processing.
• TypeScript libraries for a very wide variety of tasks:
  • a framework for building WebXR applications,
  • reusable components for Three.js, including an event system, text rendering, and an Environment metaphor for WebXR apps
  • managing complex, spatialized WebAudio graphs,
  • managing WebRTC teleconferencing sessions,
  • speech recognition,
  • structured manipulation of the browser DOM and CSS,
  • WebWorkers with async/await-capable wrapper interfaces,
  • DOM widget objects, including: dialog boxes, tab panels, dock panels, tree views, property lists, and context menus,
  • asynchronous request management with progress tracking, IndexedDB caching, and media type awareness,
  • text rendering and animation with 2D HTML Canvas image rendering,
  • an async/await-capable wrapper around IndexedDB,
  • XUnit-style testing framework,
  • logging and testing of DOM and WebGL apps,
  • an addressable lookup of Unicode Emoji code points,
  • an addressable lookup of extant Media Types,
  • graph and tree collections,
  • typesafe event handlers,
  • units of measure conversion, and
  • string manipulation and similarity matching.
