Abstract presentation

Why another validating library?

Using Rougail in your application or your python libraries can tansform end user consumer defined consistency rules into highly consistent business objects.

We then have to say that the handling system used to ensure the variables integrity is another python library, called Tiramisu. Rougail is currently strongly affiliated with Tiramisu.

Note

Rougail is currently intended to work in coordination with Tiramisu and is not intended to be connected with any other consistency handling system.

Explained differently, Rougail allows you to easily implement an integration of the powerful tiramisu consistency handling system.

What is a consistency handling system ?

Rougail, Tiramisu: What is it all about?

Question: OK, I have understood that the Rougail library allows me to take advantage of the Tiramisu consistency handling library. But what is all this for? What is exactly a consistency handling system? And again, what is this Tiramisu library used for?

Answer: Well, we will explain in details what this Tiramisu library is and what Rougail is.

In (very) short:

• Rougail is the YAML consistency description of a context‘s situation

• Tiramisu is the consistency engine linter

Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a consistency handling system that has initially been designed in the configuration management scope. Until now, this library is generally used to handle configuration options.

It manages variables and group of variables. In the Tiramisu scope we call it options and option descriptions.

Here is the tiramisu documentation.

In the Rougail scope, we call it variables and families. In Rougail, the families and variables are located in the structure files.
