Module Overview

Platinum is highly modular and every module builds to a separate libray. Library modules can depend on other modules and form a hierarchy. The core module is relatively small and the extentions make up for the most part of the library. This allows the programmer to select only the parts of the framework, which are neccessary for an application.
