OWL

OWL (Odoo Web Library) is a modern JavaScript framework developed by Odoo for building dynamic, component-based web applications, primarily used within the Odoo ERP ecosystem. It provides a reactive programming model with a virtual DOM and supports TypeScript, enabling developers to create interactive user interfaces for business applications. The framework is designed to be lightweight, fast, and tightly integrated with Odoo's backend services.
