Qworum is the Web for applications

🛡 Integration security through interactivity

Non-Qworum application integrations have security problems: access tokens can be stolen and/or misused, and API calls can be made without user consent. OAuth is widely used for integrations, yet it is insecure. Interactivity makes integrations secure, by giving control to end-users and API providers over the API calls. Qworum is the only application integration solution that is compliant with data protection regulations worldwide.

🛡 Essential for SaaS

The integration APIs that SaaS vendors are providing today are backdoors that facilitate data breaches. To be blunt: OAuth is backdoor infrastructure. So when a SaaS vendor provides such an API, they are no longer in control of who is making the calls, and whether the calls have the user's consent. This makes them unable to guarantee customer data safety, which they are legally obligated to do. With Qworum SaaS vendors gain back control.

🌐 Integrated user experiences

Employees today have to juggle with 11 applications on average. End-users often have to manually integrate applications through cut-and-paste and download-and-upload operations. Qworum is the only technology on the planet that enables seamlessly integrated UXes across webapps, supporting dependency graphs of arbitrary complexity between webapps.

Fit for knowledge applications

Qworum supports RDF natively, in addition to JSON. RDF has found widespread use within knowledge-based industries such as pharma, health and biology, cosmetics, food, e-commerce, finance and banking, and the public sector.

🤖 AI-ready

Qworum apps are AI-ready, in the sense that they are structured the right way for being piloted by AI. This cannot be said for non-Qworum webapps. Platform-wide AI capability is on our roadmap. Also, Qworum has native support for RDF, an essential data technology for AI.

Interactive Web APIs

Qworum APIs break new ground with their support for interactivity. Qworum API endpoints can interact with end-users through regular Web pages during a call. Qworum APIs are ideal for user-facing processes, which become much easier to program, because the API brings much of the application user interface with it, enabling UI reuse across applications, across the Web.

Composable Web APIs

Qworum has defined the only Web API technology that is composable. A Qworum API can call another Qworum API without the user authentication and network timeout problems that are unsolved for the other Web API protocols.

Easy integrations

Qworum-based integrations are simple to program. Applications can call the Qworum APIs of other applications without any setup phase whatsoever. No need to obtain API keys. No need to implement an OAuth dance to link up the end-user's accounts on both applications. Integrations are about as easy as adding a hyperlink to a website. Except that the link is actually a script.

An OOP system

Qworum-based software follows object-oriented programming principles. Qworum APIs are comparable to OOP classes, and the API endpoints behave as OOP methods. Qworum APIs/classes are instantiated in a Qworum session. Software architects and developers can keep on using the same OOP methodologies (domain-driven design …) and tools (UML …) that they are used to.

Easy to get started

Use Qworum in production on a piecemeal basis. Add a Qworum API to existing applications just for integrations. Then you can transition your applications to Qworum at your own pace. For greenfield projects, make your application a Qworum application from the start; this will obviate the need for a separate Qworum API.

With Qworum, the Web is surpassing the mobile and desktop platforms for the first time

Qworum is the only platform to support applications that have distributed frontends. The mobile and desktop platforms, and the baseline "Document Web" itself only support single-node applications. to overcome the limitations of today's Document Web, Qworum had to invent a new Web variant, including a new linking mechanism and a new browser runtime.
