In this section we'll explore what are libraries, why do we make use of them, and the fundamental libraries on which our application relies.
A library eases the development process by providing useful components or code functionalities to our applications. Therefore, as we need some basic features being able through all of our apps, we work in the way of libraries, allowing us to:
Base libraries are essential for any programming language. They include fundamental functionality and data types that are used across a wide range of applications. Examples of base libraries include libraries for working with strings, numbers, and collections. They provide a foundation upon which more complex functionality can be built.
Make the implementation job straightforward
Simplify updating or maintaining the libraries related code
Ease the availability of our apps to the latest libraries features
We have defined a few core libraries to meet our application functionality needs:
The following section describes how to get started with our base libraries.
