Technical Architecture
GeoGebra is built using a modular architecture that allows for easy maintenance, updates, and extension. The core technologies used are:
Core Technologies
- Java 11: GeoGebra's main runtime environment.
- Spring Boot: Our application server framework.
- Hibernate: Our ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool.
Software Architecture
GeoGebra is divided into several layers, each with its own responsibilities:
- Presentation Layer: Handles user input, rendering, and UI management.
- Business Logic Layer: Executes mathematical operations, handles calculations, and interacts with the database.
- Data Access Layer: Provides access to the GeoGebra database (PostgreSQL).
- API Layer: Exposes web services for communication with other applications.
GeoGebra uses several databases to store data:
- PostgreSQL: Our primary database management system.
- MongoDB: Used for storing user data and preferences.
We also connect to external APIs and services, such as:
- Mathematica: Our API for interacting with Mathematica's computational engine.
- ** Wolfram Alpha**: Our API for accessing Wolfram Alpha's computational capabilities.
Dependencies
GeoGebra relies on the following dependencies:
Libraries and Frameworks
Library/Framework | Version |
---|---|
Java 11 | 11.0.10 |
Spring Boot | 2.4.3 |
Hibernate | 5.4.21.Final |
Prerequisite Software
- Java Development Kit (JDK): Version 11.
- PostgreSQL: Version 12.
Performance Considerations
GeoGebra is optimized for performance and scalability:
- Caching: We use caching mechanisms to improve rendering performance.
- Concurrent Programming: GeoGebra uses concurrent programming techniques to handle multiple user interactions simultaneously.
- Database Connection Pooling: We employ connection pooling to minimize database query overhead.
