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, ...
