CMmodule
CMmodule is a modular software component designed to encapsulate a cohesive set of functionality within a software platform that uses a component-based architecture. It is intended to be self-contained, installable, and reloadable at runtime, with a stable interface that allows the host application to configure, instantiate, and manage its lifecycle. A CMmodule exposes a defined API and a manifest describing its capabilities, dependencies, and configuration options. It integrates through extension points or service registries and communicates with the host via defined contracts such as services, events, or data models. Typical CMmodules separate concerns into core logic, configuration, user interface components, and data adapters.
The architecture usually comprises a core runtime, a module or plugin manager, extension points, and a set
Common use cases include enhancing content workflows, adding metadata extraction capabilities, integrating with search or analytics
