Maverick.NET is a .NET port of Maverick, a Model-View-Controller (aka "Model 2") framework for web publishing. It is a minimalist framework which focuses solely on MVC logic, allowing you to generate presentation using a variety of templating and transformation technologies.

Core features include:

  • Pluggable view templating technologies.

  • Pluggable transformation technologies.

  • Support for iterative transformations.

  • Configuration using an XML sitemap.

  • Framework support for internationalization, customization of content based on browser, and WML.

  • The ability to use standard ASPX pages as Maverick controllers. There is full support for Server Controls, Postback forms, and View State.

  • A fairly exhaustive set of sample applications using a variety of templating languages and controller types.

Depending on what templating technology you choose, you may be interested in one or more of the following features:

  • Automatic XML serialization of arbitrary objects so that XSLT transformations can be used without the effort and processing overhead of generating and parsing text XML.

  • The ability to halt iterative transformations at any step and obtain the intermediate result. In the case of XSLT and DVSL, this would produce static XML. This allows designers to build template files offline with simple tools.

  • "Wrapping" transformations using basic templating languages like ASPX. This allows varying content to be easily encapsualted within a common layout, look-and-feel, etc.

  • NFop transformations which can produce PDF documents on-the-fly.

  • NVelocity and DVSL (an XSLT-like language based on Velocity) templates are now supported through the Opt-NVelocity package.
