Talares

Talares is a Scala and Java library that leverages the Tridion OData webservice to make Tridion content available in Scala and Java projects.

It's main advantages are:

  • Supplies a non-blocking Scala API and both a non-blocking and a blocking Java API.
  • Makes use of an SDL supported product (the Tridion OData webservice).
  • Requires minimal configuration.
  • Removes the need for packaging a Tridion license within a project freeing said project from machine specific configuration and in turn allowing unlimited horizontal scalability.1
  • Multiple cache options leverage your own cache implementation. Auto update cache allows for cached content to be updated asynchronously, making sure clients always receive a cached and up to date version of the content.2
  • A Scala query DSL allows for extending the core functionality ad-hoc.

1 Horizontal scalability will be limited by the load a single OData webservice will be able to handle and the architecture of the adopting project.
2 Whether a cached value is up to date depends on the frequency of both the cache being updated and the value being accessed.
