Moksha can communicate with various message brokers, using the AMQP and/or STOMP protocols. It also provides a simple API for sending and consuming messages, as well as allowing widgets to subscribe to live messages streams within the users web browser.
A flexible caching layer is available to all Moksha widgets and applications. This middleware is setup by TurboGears2, and trivializes the act of caching expensive operations.
Moksha provides an API for interacting with other API’s. A developer is able to easily create or utilize connectors for existing external resources and services.
