Plugins: what are they?
=======================

Plugins in pyCIF are the elementary block of the python library.
They are the basic class on which all other classes are built.

All data and meta-data in pyCIF are stored as attributes of
:bash:`Plugin` class instance.

Dependencies and links between each :bash:`plugin` are automatically dealt with,
as further explained :doc:`here <dependencies>`.

The list of classes in the CIF is detailed below.

For each class, please refer to the corresponding pages for the list of available plugins
and further documentation:
