Extension Interaction with Applications

摘要

Techniques for extension interaction with applications are described. Generally, an extension represents functionality for extending, modifying, customizing, and/or supplementing native functionality of an application. Techniques discussed herein provide a common extension platform that enables an extension to interact with multiple different applications utilizing components of the platform. The common extension platform, for instance, exposes a set of common extension application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide a common interaction surface between extensions and applications.

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations including:
receiving an indication that an extension calls an application programming interface (API) to functionally extend an application;identifying a permission that specifies one or more of an allowed interaction for the extension and the application, or a disallowed interaction for the extension and the application; andcausing the application to be functionally extended by the extension subject to the permission.
