At its core Joomla! is composed of a Framework and extensions. There are several types of extensions, each capable of performing specific tasks. Some extensions are developed as part of the Joomla! project and come with your installation. If you want to add features to your site, you can install more extensions. Since Joomla is based on PHP and MySQL, you’re building powerful applications on an open source platform anyone can use, share, and support.
