What is Directus?
Directus is an Open Data Platform that simplifies the storage, editing, and sharing of information. It is designed to provide easy access to IRC Data and Information, enabling users without technical expertise to manage and manipulate data effectively.
At its core, Directus acts as a bridge between you and the IRC database, removing the complexities of working directly with the database. This means you don't need to worry about intricate database structures or coding skills to interact with the data.
To achieve this, Directus utilizes a technique called Database Introspection. It analyzes the IRC database structure and creates an abstraction layer anybody can use and handles the intricate details behind the scenes. This abstraction layer makes it seamless for you to perform tasks such as adding, creating, editing, and deleting services and other records, without having to understand the underlying database structure.
Directus offers two primary ways to access and work with data: through the Directus Web Application or through the Directus API.
