Architecture Of MonoDevelep
There are basically three layers:
- The Core layer provides basic services for
applications (not specific to development tools).
- The Projects layer implements the project
object model, which development tools can use to organize files. Using this
API it is possible to develop applications that create, open, change, build
and do whatever you need to do with MonoDevelop projects.
- The top IDE layer is an application that puts together all the previous services to offer a powerful and extensible IDE for managing development projects. (Reference: http://monodevelop.com/Architecture_Overview)
