Project Structure

Definitions

1. The directory layout and file organization conventions of a software project, defining where source code, tests, configuration, assets, and documentation live. Good structure makes navigation intuitive and enforces architectural boundaries — e.g., separating src/, tests/, and config/ or organizing by feature rather than by file type.

   In plain English: How the files and folders in a software project are organized, like having clearly labeled filing cabinets instead of one big pile.

   Example: "We reorganized the project structure from flat files to feature folders so each domain has its own routes, models, and tests."
