Digital Service application architecture is based on the standard model which provides the following services:
- Services that can be used from Java code
- Services that can be called using a REST-style HTTP interface
- Clients that consume these service through HTTP

The architecture of an application consists of the following elements:

A library is a collection of application components such as application services, record definitions, view components, field types, rules types, and so on. A smart bundle is a package used to deploy or install software to the BMC Helix Innovation Studio. |
