Extensions
The Adaptive Framework Core contains a lot of useful interfaces,
functions and data types out of the box, by default. However, the
built-in core cannot include everything and cannot anticipate what
technologies are developed or gain popularity. Therefore, it's useful to
extend the Core to include additional features, via the use of
Extensions.
An Adaptive Framework Extension is a shared library, which, when loaded by the Core, may register interface implementations, such as additional data types, functions, adaptors, content types or request handlers. These allow for other technologies to be integrated in a way that they can seem like a part of the core, as first-class citizens.
