plugineilla
Plugineilla is a concept in software engineering describing a modular plugin framework designed to extend software applications through lightweight, interoperable plug-ins. The core idea is to keep a small, stable engine while exposing a clear, language-agnostic API that allows independent components to be added, updated, or removed at runtime.
Design and features: A standardized plugin interface defines how plug-ins discover, describe capabilities, and interact with
Applications and ecosystem: plugineilla concepts are applied in content management systems, integrated development environments, text editors,
Advantages and limitations: Benefits include modularity, easier maintenance, and extensibility. Drawbacks can include added architectural complexity,
