Architecture

Frontend

• Microsoft .NET MAUI Framework: Our choice for the frontend to create a responsive and interactive user interface that operates across different platforms (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) with a single codebase.
• C# and XAML: The primary languages used for development, where C# provides the logic and XAML defines the UI layout and design. This combination ensures a powerful yet flexible way to build our app’s interface.

Development Environment

• Visual Studio : The main Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used for the project, Mianly devleopd for hightly focus gcc..NET Extension Pack, and more for comprehensive development support.

Integration and Data Management

• JSON: Standard format for data exchange between the frontend and backend, ensuring compatibility and ease of data manipulation.
