API-First approach #
NFF adopts an API-First approach, prioritizing the design and development of robust and well-documented APIs. This approach ensures that all components and functionalities are accessible through standardized APIs, promoting seamless integration and interoperability between different systems and services.
The API-First approach offers several benefits:
- Enhanced Interoperability: Standardized APIs enable easy integration with other systems and services, regardless of the underlying technology stack.
- Improved Developer Experience: Well-defined APIs simplify development and reduce integration challenges, allowing developers to focus on building core functionalities.
- Increased Flexibility: APIs allow developers to choose the implementation approach that best suits their needs, whether it’s classic code development, low-code/no-code platforms, or BaaS solutions.
Modern Platform, Flexible Implementation #
NFF is designed as a modern framework that supports a wide range of implementation approaches. Developers have the freedom to choose the technologies and methodologies that best fit their project requirements, as long as they adhere to the guidelines and standards defined in this documentation.
This flexibility ensures that NFF can be adopted by a diverse range of organizations, from startups to large enterprises, and adapted to various use cases and scenarios. Whether developers prefer to build custom solutions from scratch, leverage low-code/no-code platforms, or utilize BaaS offerings, NFF provides the guidelines and support needed to ensure interoperability, scalability, and maintainability.
Key Principles #
- Open Source: NFF is fully open-source, fostering collaboration and transparency.
- Community-Driven: NFF is built by the community for the community, encouraging contributions and feedback.
