  • So I am new to software development and trying to get started in open source. I'm trying to figure out where to start reading the code for some project, say Axel. As per my current understanding, the function definitions should form a directed acyclic graph and I need to start in the topologically sorted order. Is there some existing library that allows me to do this at a higher level? I didn't know where to ask this so I hope this gets answered.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
