## ignite.js

Ignite.js is a package to help design, implement and debug asynchronous software. It is

a framework that allows state machines to be described in a natural, understandable way within JavaScript.

It is focused on being quick and easy to use, whilst providing powerful tools to help

the design, implementation and deployment stages.

### Reasons to Use

-   Simplified asynchronous and behavioural design for node.js

    - Remove callbacks

    - Handle multiple EventEmitters easily

    - Allow structured system design

    - Fully asynchronous

-   Useful plug-ins to support common asynchronous patterns

    - node.js asynchronous functions

    - Parallel list handling (e.g. `reduce`, `map`, `each`)

    - Handling multiple machines

-   Easily create visual representations of the code (state diagrams and, coming soon,

     sequence diagrams)

-   Simply distribute the behaviour across multiple processes

-   Support tools to help design, debug and deploy
