Framåtkompatibel
Framåtkompatibel, or forward compatibility, is a design principle in computing that ensures that a system can still function with newer versions of its components or related systems, even if it was not explicitly designed for them. This means that older software or hardware should ideally be able to work with newer software or hardware without needing significant modifications or updates. The goal is to prevent obsolescence and allow for gradual upgrades and integration of new technologies.
The concept is closely related to backward compatibility, which ensures that newer systems can work with older
Implementing forward compatibility can involve using flexible data structures, modular design, and adhering to open standards.
