Getting Started

The overall design of this framework is open and extensible (implementing the traditional Open-Closed Principle), which means base contracts can be extended, composed, or replaced.

It is possible to use its components as they are provided or use the base contracts to extend single functions, while still using the rest of the provisioning.

Sending and Receiving

The framework provides three major capabilities to the applications using its libraries

Capability	Description
Send Webhooks	Send a Webhook message to a receiver, enforcing formatting, integrity and retry rules
Notify Webhooks	Communicate the occurrence of an event in a system to an external application that is listening for those events
Receive Webhooks	Accepts and processes a notification from an external system, to trigger any related process

The two sending capabilities (send and notify) are disconnected from the receiving capability, since they represent two different parts of the communication channel (the Sender and the Receiver): as such the architecture of the framework is designed so that they don't depend on each other's.
