Qworum is the Web for applications

🛡 Qworum is the only compliant application integration solution worldwide

The cost of a data breach is $4M for organisations; that's the world average. In the US it's $10M. OAuth is widely used for integrations, yet it is insecure and so uncompliant with just about every data protection law and regulation that exists worldwide. To remain compliant with the Cyber Resilience Act in the EU, software vendors should have transitioned from offering OAuth-based APIs to offering Qworum APIs on Dec 11, 2027.

🛡 Essential for SaaS

SaaS vendors are legally obligated to safeguard customer data, yet the OAuth-based integration APIs that many of them are providing prevent them from fulfilling that obligation. Needless to say, this exposes vendors to legal problems and customer churn, and also to many breaches that go undetected. By switching to Qworum for integrations, SaaS vendors become empowered once again to protect customer data.

🌐 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.
