2.1 Architecture

This chapter marks the beginning of our in-depth exploration of Deno. Our approach will focus on providing a high-level understanding of the fundamental elements that comprise Deno's framework.

Chapter Objectives

In this chapter, we will explore Deno's architecture and its primary components. We will also conduct an in-depth examination of specific components that are integral to Deno's functionality. Please note that third-party components have extensive documentation available on their respective websites, and therefore, our discussion of these components will be limited to maintain our focus on Deno's core features and functionality. By adopting this approach, we will gain a comprehensive understanding of Deno's internal mechanics and design principles, without diverting our attention to external components that are already well-documented elsewhere.
