This is the first in what will likely be a series of libraries I’ll be releasing to make 3rd party development easier. They fall out of my own development and support a project that I’m working on. Many of the projects created for Eve Online solve the same basic problems. The aim of these libraries will be making the development process simpler and help devs work on their ideas without reinventing the wheel.
I’m licensing them under GPL to help encourage people to open source their projects. Many projects have been lost over the years that the community had interest in maintaining, so one of the goals is to try to reduce that.
I’ll update this post with more libraries as I release them.
SDEJS
The first library is a simple set of tools for handling the SDE and its data. Personally, I use this to make static JSON dumps of specific data that I use in my app. For example extracting the map data and processing the coordinates. For many uses of the SDE there is no need to invoke more complex patterns like SQL databases and I wanted to make something that made the process as simple as possible for people to just grab the data they need.
