Project description
MXCuBE-Web
MXCuBE-Web is the latest generation of the data acquisition software MXCuBE (Macromolecular Xtallography Customized Beamline Environment). The project started in 2005 at ESRF, and has since then been adopted by other institutes in Europe. In 2010, a collaboration agreement has been signed for the development of MXCuBE with the following partners:
MXCuBE-Web is developed as a web application and runs in any recent browser. The application is further built using standard web technologies and does not require any third party plugins to be installed in order to function.

The underlaying beamline control layer is implemented using the library mxcubecore previously known as HardwareRepository. The mxcubecore module is compatable with both MXCuBE-Web and the MXCuBE-Qt application. The earlier versions of MXCuBE-Web (upto 3.2.x) uses HardwareRepository while versions after 4.x uses mxcubecore.
Latest information about the MXCuBE project can be found on the project webpage.
Technologies in use
The backend is built on a Python-flask micro-framework, a library called SocketIO is further used to provide a bi-directional communication channel between backend and client. The backend exposes a REST API to the client.
The client is implemented in ECMAScript6 and HTML5. React, Boostrap and FabricJS are the main libraries used for the UI development
