Appendix D. Third Party Tools

Subversion's modular design (covered in the section called “Layered Library Design”) and the availability of language bindings (as described in the section called “Using Languages Other than C and C++”) make it a likely candidate for use as an extension or backend to other pieces of software. In this appendix, we'll briefly introduce you to some of the many third-party tools that are using Subversion functionality under-the-hood.

For a more recently updated version of this information, check out the Links page on the Subversion website (http://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html).
