abstract = {{Large experimental facilities are essential for pushing the frontier of fundamental research. The control system is the key for smooth operation for Large experimental facilities. Recently many new types of facilities have emerged, especially in fusion community, new machines with completely different designs are being built. They are not as mature as accelerators. They need flexible control systems to accommodate frequent changes in hardware and experiment workflow. The ability to quickly integrate new device and sub-systems into the control system as well as to easily adopt new operation modes are important requirements for the control system. Here we present a control system framework that is built with standard web technology. The key is using HTTP RESTful web API as the fundamental protocol for maximum interoperability. This enables it to be integrated into the already well developed ecosystem of web technology. Many existing tools can be integrated with no or little development. for instance, InfluxDB can be used as the archiver, Node-RED can be used as the Scripter and Docker can be used for quick deployment. It has also made integration of in house developed embedded devices much easier. In this paper we will present the capability of this control system framework, as well as a control system for field-reversed configuration fusion experiment facility implemented with it. }},
