Framework Switching

The switchvsversion project provides a mechanism for switching between different frameworks or versions of the same framework. This allows developers to easily experiment with different frameworks, compare their performance, and ultimately choose the best option for their project.

Configuration

The framework switching mechanism is configured through the frameworks.json file. This file defines the available frameworks and their respective configurations. Here is an example:

{
            "frameworks": [
              {
                "name": "Flask",
                "version": "2.2.2",
                "path": "frameworks/flask"
              },
              {
                "name": "Django",
                "version": "4.1.7",
                "path": "frameworks/django"
              }
            ]
          }

This configuration specifies two frameworks: Flask (version 2.2.2) and Django (version 4.1.7). The path property indicates the location of the framework’s source code relative to the project root.

Switching Frameworks

To switch between frameworks, use the switch command followed by the name of the desired framework.

switch Flask

This command will activate the Flask framework and install its dependencies if they are not already present.

Running Applications

Once a framework is activated, you can run your application using the run command.

run

This command will execute the application defined in the selected framework’s configuration.

Example Usage

Switching to Flask

switch Flask
          run

This will activate the Flask framework and run the Flask application defined in the frameworks/flask directory.

Switching to Django

switch Django
          run

This will activate the Django framework and run the Django application defined in the frameworks/django directory.

Note

  • The switchvsversion project supports switching between any type of framework.
  • The configuration file can be customized to include any number of frameworks.
  • The run command will automatically execute the appropriate application based on the selected framework.
