I recently came across a framework for as3 called "Parsley". I haven't heard about this framework yet. Can anyone give me a quick overview about this framework. I have worked with Cairgorm and the Mate framework for as3 before. Also a comparison with Mate framework.
Parsley is a micro-architecture much like Cairngorm. It's strengths are in dependency injection/inversion of control (DI/IoC) and decoupled messaging. It is significantly more lightweight and unobtrusive than older implementations of Cairngorm. It is quite popular, actually, much like Robot Legs.
In fact, as of Cairngorm v3, Cairngorm it was re-written to be an extension of Parsley.
