OS Taxonomy
An open-source operating system classification framework developed by the withmarbleapp team. It employs faceted classification and standardizes the classification of operating systems through a multidimensional structured data model.

OS Taxonomy is an operating system classification framework open-sourced by the withmarbleapp team.
OS Taxonomy gained 427 stars in a single day.
OS Taxonomy is implemented in JavaScript.
OS Taxonomy provides a layered classification model that organizes operating systems across multiple dimensions such as kernel type, target platform, licensing model, and use case.
In OS Taxonomy, classification definitions are separated from code logic: the taxonomy is stored in structured data files (such as JSON/YAML), and the code is only responsible for loading, validating, and querying.
The data-and-logic separation design means non-developers can add or adjust classification entries simply by editing data files, without modifying code.
OS Taxonomy applies faceted classification to the operating system domain, treating "kernel type," "target platform," and the like as facets to form a multi-dimensional classification space.
The data-and-logic separation pattern requires maintaining the stability of the data schema, otherwise downstream integrators can easily break due to field adjustments.
Potential use cases for OS Taxonomy include software compatibility detection tools, automated technical documentation generation, data standardization for developer surveys, and operating system market analysis reports.
OS Taxonomy is currently primarily within the JavaScript ecosystem, so for teams on non-JS tech stacks, integration costs may be somewhat higher.
