## Python

Frappe aims to achieve minimum cognitive load for its users. Hence, you can find
the most used methods and utilities in the `frappe` namespace itself. It's the
only import you need (most of the time) in a Python file.

## Javascript

Frappe attaches itself to the `window` object under the `frappe` namespace. You
will find most of the Client API under the `frappe` object. All of these methods
are only available inside the Desk. A good way to explore these APIs is from the
browser console.
