Java Simplified. Extensions and Useful Constructs for the Java Platform. Codeprimate Elements (a.k.a. cp-elements) is a Java library and micro-framework used to simplify the development of software applications written in Java. Elements packages several APIs into one library in order to address various application concerns and aspects of software design and development collectively and conveniently. Elements is a highly simple, yet robust and proven library built on solid OO principles, software design patterns and best practices to effectively solve common and reoccurring problems in software development.
