A. The plugin architecture design pattern (also known as microkernel) is a philosophy that surrounds a core application with a number of attachable/detachable modules (plugins). These can be attached and detached in runtime.

The main benefits are the following.
|
||||
- A core application that needs little to no updating unless it's updated core functionality.
|
||||
- Functionality can be kept and maintained in small separate modules (plugins). A plugin can be updated regardless of the core application as long as it maintains the same interface to the core application.
