Vulkan Extensions

Vulkan extensions are additional features or capabilities that can be added to the core Vulkan graphics API, much like optional plugins that enhance or customize its functionality. They enable developers to access new hardware features, optimize performance, or support specific devices, without altering the fundamental API. Extensions are often used to leverage the latest graphics tech or to address specific needs, allowing Vulkan to remain flexible and adaptable across different systems. Think of them as optional upgrades that expand what Vulkan can do, ensuring better graphics performance and compatibility across a wide range of hardware.
