Extensions Source
This project is a manga source extension repository and content aggregator. It functions as an HTTP content scraping engine that retrieves images and metadata from external provider websites by parsing HTML and making network requests to display digital manga within a unified reader.
The system utilizes a JSON extension repository to allow reader applications to discover and install third-party content providers. It employs an interface-based plugin framework that defines a common set of methods to ensure external sources remain compatible with a standardized internal format.
The project covers digital content discovery via remote JSON indexes and third-party content aggregation. It implements a plugin system architecture that maps remote provider data into a consistent internal schema for metadata resolution and content retrieval.
