Go API Framework
Overview
This document describes the API source tree represented by the project-root placeholder source. The structure separates shared data resources, framework-owned foundations, software-specific extensions, runtime composition, and project-level files.
Architecture
Data
The data directory provides the common resource system for framework-owned and software-owned embedded data, using a central cabinet, data-specific ledgers, and resource handlers to register and resolve resources through a controlled and lightweight access path.
