Shared framework for optical network span based graphical applications

A computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a request to render, via a user interface, information associated with an optical network,
• the information associated with the optical network being stored using a data structure accessible to provide the information for rendering via one or more applications or one or more view types of the one or more applications;
• identify an application, of the one or more applications, or a view type, of the one or more view types, associated with the user interface;
• identify an optical equipment type associated with the request,
• the optical equipment type identifying a type of optical equipment, associated with the optical network, to be rendered for display via the user interface;
• identify formatting information, for rendering optical network information associated with the optical equipment, based on the optical equipment type and at least one of:
• the view type, or
• the application;
• and
• provide the optical network information, for rendering via the user interface, based on the formatting information.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a request to provide information associated with an optical network,
• the information associated with the optical network being stored using a data structure accessible to provide the information to one or more applications;
• identifying, by the device, an application, of the one or more applications, to which the information associated with the optical network is to be provided;
• identifying, by the device, an optical equipment type associated with the request,
• the optical equipment type identifying a type of optical equipment associated with the optical network;
• identifying, by the device, formatting information, for providing optical network information associated with the optical equipment to the application, based on the optical equipment type and the application;
• and
• providing, by the device, the optical network information to the application based on the formatting information.
