Features

• Independent
  Goon is a selfcontained script, no external library needed
   
• Short
  Goon is less than 2 KB (packed)
   
• Rigorous
  Goon guarantees that required scripts are executed before the requiring script is executed
   
• Clean
  Goon is tree oriented. Each gooned script is a node: if it’s not required by another node, then it’s a root, and if it’s not requiring any node, then it’s a leaf. Loading goes from root to leaves, while execution goes the other way around.
   
• Easy
  Goon’s nodes are calls to the Goon() function, nodes’ results are available as entries of the goon repository, and the last tree’s result by means of the goony shortcut
   
• Elegant
  Goon provides a simple environment, where a node can access imported results by means of this, and export its own results by means of return
   
• Flexible
  Goon can load the same node many times in the same tree and its behavior can be tailored by specifying how each script is required: in link mode, in exec mode, or in redo mode
   
• Flexible
  Goon’s nodes can be used as roots for their subtrees, without any modification, simply by loading them directly from a page
   
• Flexible
  Gooned pages can load all the needed trees, each with its own root, and they can be completely independent or grafted
   
• Flexible
  Goon’s loading trees can be transplanted between hosts, for example from localhost to a deployment host, by changing the query string used for loading Goon itself
