Overview

PlantDB is a library for the ROMI (Robotics for Microfarms) plant database ecosystem. It is designed for plant and agricultural research facilities and robotics labs that require lightweight plant data management infrastructure.

It consists of three components:

1. plantdb.commons: provides a Python API for interacting with plant data
2. plantdb.server: provides the server-side REST API to interact with plant data
3. plantdb.client: provides the client-side REST API to interact with plant data
