Plugins

EZLogic plugins are small applications which extend the features of EZLogic, adding functionality that makes it easier for users to complete tasks without knowing code.

MiOS is committed to helping developers create plugins which expand and enhance the core functionality of our products. Our open platform and feature-rich APIs are designed to inspire developers to make truly wonderful plugins of their own.

Developers – create your own plugins

Plugin help documentation is hosted on our developer site at https://developer.mios.com/docs/
