Welcome to the dsviper documentation
====================================

**Viper** is a runtime designed with a strong usage of metadata to implement
many features like Type, Value, Function, Collection, Serialization, Function
Call, Database Persistence, Plugins, Remote Procedure Call, Network Service,
RemoteDatabase, Scripting in Python and Web interoperability with Json and Bson.

**Viper** was designed to simplify the way scripting language and C++ work
together through metadata. The dynamic aspect of a script interpreter use the
dynamic aspect of the metadata defined in Viper for Type, Value and Function to
implement a strong typed data access and function call in a fast and lazy way.

**P_Viper** (the Python C/API binding of Viper) is like a safe strong-typed
layer over python required for C++ interoperability. **P_Viper** raise exception
immediately when you use the wrong type, but **P_Viper** is smart enough to use
native python value and collection as input since the metadata drives everything
in Viper.
