extensibility
Built for additions
Extensibility is the capacity to be extended or expanded, especially in computing, where it describes software designed to accommodate new features or functionality without fundamental restructuring: The platform's extensibility allows developers to add custom modules.
More broadly, extensibility applies to any system built to grow: The extensibility of the framework made it adaptable to changing needs.
