Core

The core components define the language independent aspects of implementing the binding interfaces. This essentially means that the core is an administration layer. It keeps track of the various data structures needed to implement the bindings and to have the languages to talk with each other, i.e. a database of the bindings.

Plugin Registration

Registry of the plugins implementing individual bindings.

Type registration

Type conversion

Algorithms for implicit conversion of registered types.

Signature matching
