title: How it works

At its core, Wasp works like any other language: input files written in the source, higher-level language are
|
||
|
|
fed into the compiler which then produces the code in a target, lower-level language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is how it looks in the case of Wasp:
|
||
|
|
- **source**: `.wasp` files along with NodeJS functions and React components.
|
||
|
|
- **compiler**: `waspc`, a program written in Haskell
|
||
|
|
- **target**: a web application written in React and NodeJS
|
||
|

Here is also a high-level diagram illustrating the described process:
