## X-Pipe Extension API

The X-Pipe extension API allows you to create extensions of any kind for X-Pipe.
This includes:
- Custom data stores, including configuration GUI and CLI
- Custom data sources, including configuration GUI and CLI
- Custom preferences entries

### Custom data sources

A custom data source type can be implemented by creating a custom
[DataSourceProvider](src/main/java/io/xpipe/extension/DataSourceProvider.java).
This provider contains all the information required for proper handling of your custom data sources,
whether you access it from the CLI, any API, or the X-Pipe commander gui.
