Class BackendManager

java.lang.Object

org.episteme.core.technical.backend.AbstractBackendManager<Backend>

org.episteme.core.technical.backend.BackendManager

public class BackendManager
extends AbstractBackendManager<Backend>

Global registry and manager for all discoverable backends.

Provides static access for backward compatibility and a general-purpose manager. This class manages instances of the base Backend type, while domain-specific managers (e.g., PlottingBackendManager, AudioBackendManager) extend AbstractBackendManager with their specific backend interfaces.

Relationship to BackendDiscovery: BackendDiscovery provides type-string based queries and user preference integration, primarily for UI backend selection panels. This class provides name-based lookup and explicit registration. The staticGetProvidersByType(String) method delegates to BackendDiscovery to avoid duplicating type-based filtering logic.
