An ellipse $\frac{\left(x-x_0\right)^2}{a^2}+\frac{\left(y-y_0\right)^2}{b^2}=1$, $a > b$, is tangent to both $x$ and $y$ axes and is placed in the first quadrant. Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be two foci of the ellipse and $O$ be the origin with $OF _1 < OF _2$. Suppose the triangle $OF _1 F _2$ is an isosceles triangle with $\angle OF _1 F _2=120^{\circ}$. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse is
