laconia - Lightweight external exposure of LASS data

The laconia module holds machine-readable views of information in LASS models. It’s like an ad-hoc API.

Its name comes from the area from which the Spartans originated; it often returns information in short, terse bursts in the Spartan tradition.

Things that belong in laconia:

  1. Application-specific formatted views of data
  2. Temporary glue logic that will eventually be replaced with APIs
  3. Anything that is intended to be embedded in a script but does not require a heavyweight retrieval mechanism

Much of laconia is temporary and anticipates the creation of proper structured API exposure of data. As such, only depend on laconia runoffs if you’re reasonably confident that they are either permanent or will be easily replacable in your code in the future.
