Extensions

→ besides the core language structures, Extensions can be used to implement optional, technology-specific scanning/processing components (i.e. concepts, traversers, processors, or post-processors and the concept representations in the jQA Plugin)

LCE:

• components for each extension is placed in a separate sub-directory in under typescript/src (e.g. typescript/src/react)
• each extension contains a main module called extension-name-extractor.ts that exports a function that adds all processing components of the extension to the feature collections in typescript/src/core/features.ts
• typescript/src/main.ts must be extended to allow the extension to be activated and initialized
• all processing components are defined in the same manner and directory structure as their core counterparts

jQA Plugin:

• each of the technical packages contains sub-packages for the core and each individual extension
• the ConceptCollection class has to accommodate all possible concept types that can be emitted by the LCE tool
