Platform
Architecture & Technology
FOLIO was designed from the ground up to be an extensible and technically interesting system. API driven, the heart of the architecture is the API gateway OKAPI, which proxies both general module and tenant management APIs, as well as endpoints for accessing module-provided, business-logic specific interfaces, e.g. Patron management or Circulation.
The User Interface of FOLIO relies on Stripes – a toolkit for building single-page web applications that FOLIO UI modules can run in.
