    - Components of plugin
      A typical plugin contains the following components:
      - Service meta information file
        The following are the pre-requisites for meta information file:
      - Service implementations
        For each service declared in the service meta information file, there must be an implementation present inside the respective factoryClass.
        RESTful approach
        The com.example.service.rest.CustomService class helps you understand REST based service implementation.
        Functional approach
        Refer to the com.example.service.functional.CustomService class to understand the functional service implementation.
        Best approach selection
        Although, it is possible to implement a service using either approaches, each approach has some advantages and limitations when it comes to the capabilities.

Service implementations

For each service declared in the service meta information file, there must be an implementation present inside the respective factoryClass.

The Asset Picker provides an SDK to streamline the service implementation and facilitates rapid development of plugins. The Asset Picker SDK allows two different approaches for service implementations: RESTful and Functional.

This section will provide a brief introduction to these approaches. For additional information, refer the asset-integration-starter project.

This topic also introduces certain types, interfaces, their generic type parameters, and enums from Asset Picker SDK. For additional details, see SDK Plugin Development.
