Library Management System

A Library Management System (LMS) developed in two approaches:

1. Using Python for both frontend and backend.
2. Using Jaseci Language (Jac) for both frontend and backend.

The system handles library management tasks like book inventory, member records, issue/return workflows, and intelligent automation with Jac.

• Backend: Python (Flask/Django RESTful APIs).
• Database: MySQL/PostgreSQL.

Approach 2: Jac-based System

• Frontend: Jac (UI definitions and workflows).
• Backend: Jac walkers, sentinels, and actions.
• Database: Jaseci built-in or integrated external DB (optional).
