servers and bindings. The Application class extends [Context](Context.html), and
provides the controls for starting and stopping itself and its associated
servers.
- [**Sequence**](Sequence.html): A stateless grouping of [Actions](Sequence.html#actions) that control how a Server responds to requests.
- [**Server**](Server.html): Represents implementation for inbound transports and/or protocols such as REST over http, gRPC over http2, and graphQL over https. It typically listens for requests on a specific port, handle them, and return appropriate responses.
- [**Context**](Context.html): An abstraction of all state and dependencies in your application, that LoopBack uses to “manage” everything. It's a global registry for everything in your app (configurations, state, dependencies, classes, and so on).
- [**Dependency Injection**](Dependency-Injection.html): Technique that separates the construction of dependencies of a class or function from its behavior, to keep the code loosely coupled.
- [**Controller**](Controllers.html): Class that implements operations defined by application’s REST API. It implements an application’s business logic and acts as a bridge between the HTTP/REST API and domain/database models. A Controller operates only on processed input and abstractions of backend services / databases.
- [**Route**](Routes.html): Mapping between your API specification and an Operation (JavaScript implementation). It tells LoopBack which function to invoke() given an HTTP request.
- [**Sequence**](Sequence.html): A stateless grouping of [Actions](Sequence.html#actions) that control how a Server responds to requests.
- [**Schema**](Schemas.html): Represents the definition of a model in LoopBack, with respect to the datasource juggler. The `@loopback/repository` module provides special decorators for adding metadata to TypeScript/JavaScript classes to use them with the legacy implementation of Datasource Juggler.
- [**Controller**](Controllers.html): Class that implements operations defined by application’s REST API. It implements an application’s business logic and acts as a bridge between the HTTP/REST API and domain/database models. A Controller operates only on processed input and abstractions of backend services / databases.

- [**Dependency Injection**](Dependency Injection.html): Technique that separates the construction of dependencies of a class or function from its behavior, to keep the code loosely coupled.
- [**Repository**](Repositories.html): Type of Service that represents a collection of data within a DataSource.
- [**Decorator**](Decorators.html): Enables you to annotate or modify your class declarations and members with metadata.
- [**Server**](Server.html): Represents implementation for inbound transports and/or protocols such as REST over http, gRPC over http2, and graphQL over https. It typically listens for requests on a specific port, handle them, and return appropriate responses.
- **Component**: A package that bundles one or more Loopback extensions.
- See [Using components](Using-components.html) and [Creating components](Creating-components.html) for more information.
