MindTouch Dream is a Web-Oriented Architecture Framework (WOAF) for developing lightweight, highly decoupled web-services. The framework includes of a REST microserver and classes for web communication, XML processing, and writing highly asynchronous code. MindTouch Dream runs on Microsoft .NET 2.0 and Novell Mono 1.9.1. Dream is the foundation of MindTouch Core. Dream is open source, written in C#, and licensed under Apache 2.0.
The goal of Dream is to make web-oriented programming as simple as possible without introducing abstractions that obfuscate the versatility of HTTP. Dream web-services can be hosted by standalone applications or Windows Services using the REST microserver, or by Windows IIS.
