# Elastic Objects

Computer communication today means some kind of typed method invocation
and fixed method functionality bound to an url.

The concept of Elastic Objects is different: It offers a generic object
with typed parts send over one endpoint. Functionality is offered by
beans with an execution method which can be arbitrary composed. They
called **Calls**.

Some working editable examples of diffent you can find on
[ElasticObjects.org](http://www.elasticobjects.org/examples/ExamplesStart.html)
which itself is build by one generic spring boot endpoint and EO.

A simple example where you can edit it's structure:

```
<form action="http://www.elasticobjects.org/eo-form" method="post">
     <textarea name="eo">{
  "(Double)source":1,
  "(SinusValueCall)target": {
    "sourcePath": "/source"
  }
}</textarea>
  <input type="submit" value="post"/>
</form>
```
Here you can edit
* the value of source
* the fieldName of target
* the value of sourcePath and the corresponding fieldName

The core library is rather small but allows a much rich message
communication even within existing solutions.

* any combination of functionality allowed in a message
* any arbitrary information could placed in a message
* minimal coupling to an application server
* No annotation magic, pure java
