By convention, ShofarNexus™ defines an extensive vocabulary of verbs whose names begin with a capital letter. Verbs defined by other applications begin with a lowercase letter.

Each request to a ShofarNexus™ site is processed through a common verb handler. A Verb List is built by first getting the cookies, then the query string and finally the POST or form values.

Once the complete Verb List is built, the entire list is iterated through in a parsing step. Once all verbs have been parsed, the entire list is iterated through again and those that have not already failed will perform an execute step.

Each ShofarVerb™ is described in detail in the Verb Library.
