Extensibility revolves around the use of SDx methods that are implemented using either the WebClientExtensibility client API or the WebClientExtensibilityMultiple client API.
When configured, SDx and an external application can then communicate securely using a wrapper library
around the HTML5 postMessage API.
Each method must specify a SDx URL to the external application. The URL is used in an iframe hosted within the SDx, after undergoing sanitization and security checks. For more information, see https://angular.io/).
