The initial architectural concepts of legacy Openadaptor predated the popularity of XML, and a canonical data representation called DataObjects became an integral part of the framework introducing certain performance overheads and overly strict rules as to what can, and what cannot, be exchanged between an adaptor's components. The experience of developing and supporting legacy Openadaptor has also highlighted several other shortcomings, such as the proliferation of custom code that led to the support hurdles, poorly defined and unclear customization and interface points, and the inevitable tendency toward bloat-ware.
