Whether you are doing applications, appliances, drivers or other development projects, the Niagara Framework already provides 60–70% of the required functionality.

Java developers can replace or add to core features of the framework, and drivers and extra applications can be easily created using our Driver Framework. New types of user interface and whole new applications can be created based on Niagara.
