How Livon Differs
LIVON is a deterministic runtime focused on cross-layer alignment, not just one layer of the stack.
Comparison
| Dimension | Validation-only tools | Transport/RPC-only tools | LIVON |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runtime boundary validation | input parsing only | often delegated to user land | validated-by-default across receive, execute, send, publish, and subscribe |
| Schema drives execution | partial | usually no | yes, schema drives execution behavior |
| Publish/subscribe model | optional custom layer | transport events without schema coupling | first-class operation-to-subscription mapping |
| Generated IDE documentation | usually manual | usually manual | schema doc metadata to generated JSDoc |
| Deterministic execution envelope | not central | transport-centric | shared deterministic envelope model across modules |
Positioning summary
LIVON should be evaluated as a schema-driven interface workflow:
- a single schema source
- deterministic boundary enforcement
- interface symmetry between backend and frontend
Practical implication
This model reduces structural duplication and keeps behavior explicit where systems integrate.
