-Plugins can be divided in two groups. XUL plugins for Firefox or Zotero Standalone that closely integrate with the Zotero client, and external plugins, which are more likely to rely on the [[Server API]] to access Zotero libraries.
+Plugins can be divided in two groups: XUL plugins, which closely integrate with the Zotero client and external plugins, which are more likely to rely on the [[Web API]] to access Zotero libraries. XUL plugins are built on the same technologies as legacy (pre-WebExtension) Firefox extensions.
-Existing (open source) plugins can be very helpful in helping you develop you own plugins (see the list of [[:plugins|Zotero plugins]]). If you plan to write a XUL plugin, you can start by taking a look at the [[dev/sample_plugin|Hello World Zotero plugin]].

   * [[dev/client_coding/LibreOffice Plugin Wire Protocol]]
     * The LibreOffice plugin implements the word processor integration API by acting as a server for a simple TCP/IP protocol. If out-of-process communication mechanisms such as COM and AppleScript are unavailable, new word processor plugins can implement this protocol instead.
