+# BDK Architecture Presentation
+The Symphony BDK for Java is a multi-module library that uses [Gradle](https://gradle.org/) as build system. 
+This page will help to clearly understand how the library has been designed. This can be also useful for new contributors
+aiming to provide additional features or implementations or existing APIs. 
+
+## Architecture Overview
+The following diagram aims to give an overview of the different layers and modules provided by the BDK library.
+![Architecture Overview Diagram](architecture.svg)
+
+### symphony-bdk-core
+The `symphony-bdk-core` is the main module that allows developers to write bots from a pure Java main application. It contains
+all necessary BDK features such as: 
+- [configuration](../configuration.md) 
+- [authentication](../authentication.md)
+- [datafeed](../datafeed.md)
+- [services](../message.md)
+- [activity API](../activity-api.md)
+
+#### Code Generation
+The `symphony-bdk-core` module relies on the [openapi-generator-maven-plugin](https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/master/modules/openapi-generator-maven-plugin/README.md)
+to generate API clients and models from official Symphony's [Swagger specifications](https://github.com/symphonyoss/symphony-api-spec).
+API's clients are located under package `com.symphony.bdk.gen.api` and models under `com.symphony.bdk.gen.api.model`.
+
+### symphony-bdk-http
+The `symphony-bdk-http-api` module defines a generic interface for performing HTTP calls. Along with this interface, it
+also provides a utility `com.symphony.bdk.http.api.HttpClient` class helping developers to perform calls to external systems.
+> :warning: It is important to notice that interface `com.symphony.bdk.http.api.ApiClient` is used by generated code. 
+> Changing contract would break the build. See [Code Generation](#code-generation).
+
+At the moment, two different implementations have been created for the `com.symphony.bdk.http.api.ApiClient` interface:
+- `com.symphony.bdk.http.jersey2.ApiClientJersey2` contained in module `symphony-bdk-http-jersey2` (default implementation for [Core](#symphony-bdk-core))
+- `com.symphony.bdk.http.webclient.ApiClientWebClient` contained in module `symphony-bdk-http-webclient` (default implementation for [Spring Boot](#symphony-bdk-spring))  
+
+### symphony-bdk-template
+The `symphony-bdk-template-api` module defines a set of interfaces that allows developers to load and fill text files with 
+data. This API is especially useful for complex MessageML templating.
+
+At the moment, two different module implementations have been created: 
+- `symphony-bdk-template-freemarker`
+- `symphony-bdk-template-handlebars`
+
+### symphony-bdk-spring
+The Symphony BDK comes also with two _starter_ modules to ease integration with the Spring Boot framework: 
+- `symphony-bdk-core-spring-boot-starter` that is basically a wrapper around the [symphony-bdk-core](#symphony-bdk-core) module
+- `symphony-bdk-app-spring-boot-starter` that is a foundation for [Extension Applications](https://developers.symphony.com/symphony-developer/docs/overview-of-extension-applications)
