What's nexl ?
nexl is a configuration hosting server.
Configuration is stored in native JavaScript files, exposed via standard HTTP protocol and can be accessed by special expression language.
nexl can be useful when you need to store and manage an application configuration externally instead of storing it hard coded.
Another use case is when you need a centralized place to manage different kind of configurations.
