FOS-P3: Exploring the vast and growing Facebook Open Source - Part 3
In this third part from the series of articles on the "Facebook Open Source » We will continue our exploration of the vast and growing catalog of open apps developed by the Technological Giant de «Facebook".
In order to continue expanding our knowledge of the open applications released by each of the Technological Giants of the group known as GAFAM. What, as many already know, is made up of the following North American companies: "Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft".

FOS-P3: Facebook Open Source - Part 3
Applications of the Facebook Open Source
Before starting, it is good to keep in mind as we express in the Part, that the official website of the Facebook Open Source (FOS) It is divided into 10 highlighted parts or sections, which are:
- Android
- Artificial Intelligence
- data infrastructure
- DeveloperOperations
- Development Tools
- Frontend
- iOS
- Languages
- Linux
- Security
And continuing with the next 3 applications of the first section mentioned "(Android) ", we have the following:
Yoga
Briefly, in the FOS describe this application as follows:
"Yoga is a cross-platform design engine that implements Flexbox."
While his website on GitHub the following is added on it:
“Yoga is built with Buck, so you must install this first before contributing to Yoga. The main implementation of Yoga is in C ++, with links to the supported languages and frameworks."
Finally, from your Official website It is worth highlighting the following information:
“Yoga already powers widely used open source frameworks. Allowing these to offer a simple and intuitive design API that allows engineers to collaborate more easily between platforms. Yoga has unlocked cool features like Offline Layout Calculation to help ensure smooth UI performance. "
Note: You can get more official information about this application in the following link.
stetho
Briefly, in the FOS describe this application as follows:
“Stetho is a debugging bridge for Android applications, allowing you to use Chrome's powerful developer tools and much more."
While his website on GitHub defines it more broadly, as follows:
“Stetho is a sophisticated debugging bridge for Android applications. When enabled, developers have access to the Chrome Developer Tools (Chrome DevTools) feature, which is part of the Chrome desktop browser. Developers can also choose to enable the optional dumpapp tool, which provides a powerful command-line interface for internals of the application."
Finally, from your Official website It is worth highlighting the following information:
“The Chrome DevTools Frontend integration is implemented using a client / server protocol that the Stetho software provides for your application. Once your application is integrated, simply navigate to chrome: // inspect and click "Inspect" to start using them."
Note: You can get more information about this application in the following link.
Infer
Briefly, in the FOS describe this application as follows:
"A static parser for Java, C, C ++ and Objective-C. "
While his website on GitHub the following is added on it:
"Infer is written in OCaml. "
Finally, from your Official website It is worth highlighting the following information:
“It is a tool for detecting errors in Java and C / C ++ / Objective-C code before it goes to production. Thus, by providing Infer with some Java or C / C ++ / Objective-C code, it produces a list of potential errors, which anyone could use to trap critical errors before they are sent to users, thus helping to prevent failures or poor performance in developments."
Note: You can get more information about this application in the following link.
Conclusion
We hope this "useful little post" on this third exploration of «Facebook Open Source», offer the opportunity to meet a new, interesting and useful open application developed by the Technological Giant of «Facebook»; and is of great interest and utility, for the entire «Comunidad de Software Libre y Código Abierto» and of great contribution to the diffusion of the wonderful, gigantic and growing ecosystem of applications of «GNU/Linux».
