</p>

<ul dir="auto">
  <li>
    packages/builder &#8211; contains code for the budibase builder client side svelte application.
  </li>
  <li>
    packages/client &#8211; A module that runs in the browser responsible for reading JSON definition and creating living, breathing web apps from it.
  </li>
  <li>
    packages/server &#8211; The budibase server. This Koa app is responsible for serving the JS for the builder and budibase apps, as well as providing the API for interaction with the database and file system.
