CKAN plugins

CKAN plugins are modular extensions that add or enhance features within the CKAN data management platform. Think of them as customizable plugins that allow organizations to tailor the platform's capabilities—such as improving data search, adding new data visualization tools, or integrating with other systems—without altering the core software. These plugins facilitate flexibility, enabling users to adapt CKAN to their specific data sharing needs. They are developed using standard programming practices, making it easier for developers to create, install, and manage new functionalities efficiently within the platform.
