Extensible software is software designed with architecture—such as plugin systems, APIs, or modular components—that allows its functionality to be extended or customized without modifying the core codebase. Software architects and engineers prioritize extensibility to let third-party developers or future maintainers add features safely, as seen in platforms like WordPress, VS Code, or Photoshop.
