**Architecture**
## Installation Guide
ERPNext has a standard _Model-View-Controller_ architecture, with a slight twist. It has built-in metadata modeling tools that can be used to
* All objects in the ERP are DocTypes (not to be confused with HTML DocTypes) and the Views are generated directly in the browser.
* Client interacts with the server via JSON data objects on a Representational state transfer (RESTful) supporting server.
* There is ability to plug-in (event driven) code on the client and server side.
The underlying web app framework is called "wnframework" and is maintained as a separate Project. wnframework started as a web based metadata framework based on though it has evolved differently.This architecture allows rapid application development.
