Description
--------------------------
In this workshop you will learn how to implement extensions for KL using C/C++. The EDK (Extension Development Kit) allows you to connect third party libraries to KL, and we'll go over a couple of small examples as well as implementing an extension connection the RapidXML library.

You can find all of the videos embedded below in the `Fabric Engine Workshop Channel on Vimeo <https://vimeo.com/channels/629477>`_.

03 - Opaque Data
--------------------

We cover how to manage opaque data within C/C++ and expose is to KL in a safe fashion. This is handy if you want to hide complex data from KL and use C/C++ to control it.

04 - RapidXML
--------------------

In this video we use all of the acquired knowledge to implement an extension wrapping the `RapidXML library <http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/>`_ into KL.
