> The next UI for DSpace 7, based on Angular Universal.
> The DSpace User Interface built on [Angular](https://angular.io/), written in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and using [Angular Universal](https://angular.io/guide/universal).
This project is currently under active development. For more information on the DSpace 7 release see the [DSpace 7.0 Release Status wiki page](https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+7.0+Status)
Overview
--------

DSpace open source software is a turnkey repository application used by more than
2,000 organizations and institutions worldwide to provide durable access to digital resources.
For more information, visit http://www.dspace.org/

DSpace consists of both a Java-based backend and an Angular-based frontend.

* Backend (https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/) provides a REST API, along with other machine-based interfaces (e.g. OAI-PMH, SWORD, etc)
* The REST Contract is at https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract
* Frontend (this codebase) is the User Interface built on the REST API
