TY - CHAP ID - citeulike:4933225 L3 - citeulike-article-id:4933225 N2 - Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a declarative programming model for constructing interactive applications based on a continuous model of time. FRP programs are described in terms of behaviors (continuous, time-varying, reactive values), and events (conditions that occur at discrete points in time).

At the implementation level, the Java Beans event model is used internally by Frappé to propagate FRP events and changes to FRP behaviors. This allows Frappé applications to be packaged as Java Beans components for use in other applications, and yields an implementation of FRP well-suited to the requirements of event-driven applications (such as graphical user interfaces).
