Architecture

Learn about the architectural foundations of the Matrix Framework.

Core Concepts

• Declarative Service Definition: Use XAML to define your service hierarchy and communication patterns
• Message Routing: Support for bubbling and tunneling message patterns through the service tree
• State Management: Distributed property system for state synchronization
• Templates: Reusable communication patterns and service configurations
