Per User

Technology

Phiscal is a database, accessed through a RESTful API built with Phalcon, a php framework served as a C extension.
Endpoint routes are divided between private and public routes.
Private routes are those that require the Authorization HTTP header, with a JWT using the Bearer Schema as a value.
Routes that operate on a particular Tenant require the Tenant ID to be passed as a value in the Tenant HTTP header.

Users interact with system via a web client built with VueJS SPA technology, and an Android app built with Java + XML.
