The XSN Block Explorer (https://xsnexplorer.io/) is composed by several sub projects:
- [server](server)
- [web-ui](web-ui)
- [infra](infra)

## server
The server is a backend service that interacts with the `xsnd` (RPC server) to provide a RESTful API for retrieving information from the blockchain, it also maps the blockchain to a relational database to support several operations that otherwise would kill the application performance.

## web-ui
The web-ui is the frontend application that interacts with the `server` project to display the data in a browser.

## infra
The infra project contains all stuff related to the required infrastructure, like deployment steps and hopefully deployment scripts (TODO).
