Yeah
I am after that kind of explanation.

Thanks Even

Still do you think I could have a brief intro if it's an in-tree driver. So from that point of view what would constitute a proxy and real driver?

John,


As stated in the intro, this RFC is mostly for *in-tree* drivers. If you develop an out-of-tree plugin that doesn't modify GDAL sources, then you can ignore it

Hello

Can anyone explain the concept of proxy driver and real driver in GDAL? I am looking at the link https://gdal.org/en/stable/development/rfc/rfc96_deferred_plugin_loading.html <https://gdal.org/en/stable/development/rfc/rfc96_deferred_plugin_loading.html>

Say I create an external plugin of some data format for e.g. say JP2 and then some Geospatial server loads my plugin file.

1.
    In this scenario I think the geospatial driver needs GDAL libs as
    well?
2.
    Now what is the proxy driver and what is real driver in this
    context? Is the real driver inside GDAL or inside my plugin?
3.
    What is the proxy driver in context of question (b)


Please clarify me so that I have clear picture in my mind.

BR
John
