The Eclipse Theia Architecture
summary
Architecture shows a web app with a Node.js/Express backend and a single-page frontend built on Phosphor.js UI shell, communicating over HTTP and a multiplexed WebSocket so one backend serves multiple independent browser windows. Dependency injection uses Inversify.js DI with container modules generated by the Theia build tool from npm extension packages; per-connection child containers bind a websocket and get disposed on close. Editors use the Monaco editor integration and plugins run in a separate host (or worker) via a JSON RPC so it is VS Code-compatible plugin host.
