At the root of the repository, several directories can be found:
- source: contains the navitia source code (c++ and python)
- third_party: third party developped modules
- documentation: all the navitia documentation
- (debug|release): by convention, the build repositories
Navitia is made of 3 main modules:
- Kraken is the c++ core
- Jörmungandr is the python frontend
- Ed is the postgres database
Kraken and Jörmungandr communicate with each other through protocol buffer messages send by ZMQ.
Transportation data (in the GTFS format) or routing data (from OpenStreetMap for the moment) can be given to Ed. Ed produces a binary file used by Kraken.
- Gcc as the C++ compiler (g++)
- Cmake for the build system
- Python for the api
For the installation procedure, please refer to the installation documentation
