| VGG | Short for Very Good Graphics, the world's first Design-as-Code open sourced engine for application design and development, which allows product designers and developers to efficiently build WebAssembly-compatible applications with graphical user interfaces, speeding up the whole workflow from interface design to code implementation. |
| Visual editor | A graphical interface that allows users to create, modify, and manipulate designs visually, typically using drag-and-drop or interactive tools. |
| Daruma | The backbone of VGG as a universal design & application format. Its online service is able to parse and convert design files in different formats provided by you into a Daruma formats. |
| Daruma formats | A set of JSON data specifications which gives clear definitions of not only the design but also the interaction of the final Daruma file. |
| Render | The act of generating a visual representation or output of a design file or its elements. Daruma will render all content in your design files. |
| Design file | A digital container or document that contains all the assets, elements, and information related to a design project, such as artboards, groups, graphics, text, and layout. |
| Design format | A specific file format or structure used to store and represent design-related data, such as images, vectors, typography, and layout information. It determines how the design elements are organized and can be interpreted by design software or tools. |
| Frame/Artboard | A container that defines the boundaries of a specific area within a design file, typically used to represent a single screen or page. |
| Page | A distinct section within a design file that contains one or more frames or artboards, representing different screens or views of a design. |
| Layer | A single visual element or object within a design file that can be independently manipulated, organized, and styled. |
| Asset | A digital resource, such as an image, icon, or font, used in a design to enhance its visual appearance or functionality. |
| Component/Symbol | A reusable and customizable design element that can be used throughout a design file, ensuring consistency and efficiency in design workflows. |
| API | Application Programming Interface, a set of rules and protocols that allows software applications to communicate and interact with each other. |
| SDK | Software Development Kit, a collection of tools, libraries, and documentation that helps developers create software applications for a specific platform or framework. |
| JSON data | Data formatted according to the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) syntax, commonly used for structuring and exchanging data between applications. |
| Parse | The process of analyzing and interpreting structured data, such as extracting relevant information from a design file. |
| Convert | The act of transforming data from one format or representation to another, often to enable compatibility or facilitate further processing. |
| Import | The action of bringing external data or resources into a design file or software application for use. |
| Export | The process of saving or generating a design file or its contents in a specific format. In Daruma, it will be exported to a unified format. |
