# Connector

This is a framework designed to build connectors with external systems, usually called `Backends` in the documentation.

Documentation: http://odoo-connector.com

It features:

- A jobs queue

  > In which the connectors can push functions (synchronization tasks) to be executed later.

- An event pattern

  > The connectors can subscribe listener functions on the events, executed when the events are fired.

- Connector base classes

  > Called `ConnectorUnit`.

  > Include base classes for the use in connectors, ready to be extended:

  > - `Synchronizer`: flow of an import or export
  > - `Mapper`: transform a record according to mapping rules
  > - `Binder`: link external IDs with local IDS
  > - `BackendAdapter`: adapter interface for the exchanges with the backend
  > - But `ConnectorUnit` can be extended to accomplish any task

- A multi-backend support

  > Each `ConnectorUnit` can be registered amongst a backend type (eg. Magento) and a backend version (allow to have a different `Mapper` for each backend’s version for instance)

It is used for example used to connect Magento and Prestashop, but also used with Solr, CMIS, …
