Caravela has the following principal features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Aspect-Oriented Programming | Encapsulate repetitive patterns of code (such as logging, caching, INotifyPropertyChanged, multi-threading) into executable artifacts named aspects that add behaviors to your code at compile time, so that your source code remains clean and succinct — easier to read and maintain. |
| Code Generation | Generate repetitive code, in the editor or at compile time, instead of writing it by hand. |
| Code Validation | Verify that hand-written code complies to team rules and conventions. |
