Compose your i4 Apps thanks to i4 Components
Components that will be used by other i4 Apps when they are executing or when they are trying to execute any of the i4FS resources. It is possible to distinguish four different modules depending on their functionality: Middleware, Data Management, I/O Toolkit, and Control modules.
