Yes - it has a core tree of nodes data structure, but can work with
other data structures.  Scripts and plugins have complete access to
everything at run time.  I have an in-house database schema editing
tool based on Leo using leo2xml and xml2leo commands from the xml_edit
plugin.  The quickest route to building simple apps. is probably the
@button functionality.

Here's a neat example of an app. for running RPG games using Leo:
