Chapter 7:
Extension Development
TYPO3 is a framework for web applications. This framework can be expanded, adjusted, or even completely changed, on the basis of extensions. At its core, TYPO3 is a web-based database management system. This can be seen, for example, by the fact that the CMS is implemented as an extension, that is, it is an application of TYPO3. This separation between core and application reduces complexity and makes it easier to continue developing the system. This is made possible by a defined and structured Extension API. In addition, each extension has its own namespace. Taken together, this prevents conflicts and makes it possible to extend TYPO3 in almost every direction.
