TDV comes with a set of built-in adapters that connect TDV with various data sources.

The Data Source Toolkit lets you develop, deploy, and manage data source extension adapters for TDV—self-contained packages that can be deployed as add-on adapters.

You need to have a general understanding of how TDV works to write an extension adapter. This chapter documents the steps required to develop and manage the life cycle of an extension adapter.
