Architecture ERPNext has a model–view–controller architecture with metadata modeling tools that add flexibility for users to adapt the software to unique purposes without the need for programming. Some attributes of the architecture are:

All objects in the ERP are DocTypes (not to be confused with HTML DocTypes) and the Views are generated directly in the browser. Client interacts with the server via JSON data objects on a JSON-RPC supporting server. There is ability to plug-in (event driven) code on the client and server side.

The underlying web app framework is called "Frappe Framework" Frappe Framework and is maintained as a separate open source project. Frappe started as a web-based metadata framework inspired from ProtégéProtege though it has evolved differently.

This architecture allows Rapid Application Development (RAD).
