A plugin (or plug-in) is a computer program that interacts with a main application (a web browser or an email program, for example) to provide a certain, usually very specific, function.
Typical examples are plugins that
- read or edit specific types of files (for instance, multimedia files)
- encrypt or decrypt email (for instance, PGP)
- filter images in graphic programs
The main application provides services which the plugins can use, including a way for plugins to register themselves with the main application and a protocol by which data is exchanged with plugins. Plugins are dependent on these services provided by the main application and do not usually work by themselves. Conversely, the main application is independent of the plugins, making it possible for plugins to be added and updated dynamically without changes to the main application.
