Overview

GPL is built atop Express, a lightweight and fast framework for Node.js, designed with a wide variety of applications in mind. Do checkout the project structure in order to gain better understanding.

Traditional database outfits like SQL and the like have been done away with in favour of the more contemporary MongoDB. This allows greater flexibility with the exact storage format, as MongoDB does not enforce a schema by default.

More information on the release cycle of GPL can be found [here] (https://github.com/IEEECS-VIT/GPL/releases).
