Plugin Ecosystem

Definitions

1. The collection of extensions, developers, APIs, review processes, and distribution channels that grow around a platform’s plugin architecture. A strong plugin ecosystem can significantly extend a product’s usefulness and community engagement.

   In plain English: The broader world of add-ons and developers built around a platform’s extension system.

   Example: "The core app stayed simple because the plugin ecosystem handled all the niche integrations."
