Overview

KCL provides engineering extensibility through built-in modules, system modules and plug-in modules.

The user code does not need to import functions that directly use builtin functions (such as calculating the length of a list with len, obtaining the type of value through typeof, etc.), and for basic types such as strings, it also provides some built-in methods (such as converting the case of strings, etc.).

For relatively complex general logic, it is provided through the system modules. For example, by importing the math module, we can use related mathematical functions, and we can use the regular expression by importing the regex module. For KCL code, it can also be organized into different user modules.

In addition, Python and Go can be used to develop plug-ins for KCL through the plugin mechanism. For example, there are the app-context plug-in can be used to obtain the context information of the current application to simplify code writing.
