### Plugin types
We will document and support where feasible several distinct kinds of plugin, written in haskell or other languages:
| Plugin type | Description | Current status |
|-|-|-|
| reader | Parse/ingest new data formats/sources to hledger journal data. | Can be done by generating journal or csv format.
| writer | Render/export hledger journal data to new data formats/destinations. | Can be done (lossily) by transforming print's txt/csv/json/sql output.
| processor | Process hledger journal data after parsing, before reporting. | Not well supported, somewhat possible in a haskell script.
| formatter | Render a hledger report's output to a new output format. | Can be done by transforming report's builtin txt/csv/json/html output.
| command | Provide new `hledger` subcommands implementing new reports or actions. | Can be done with addon scripts/programs in PATH.
We will document and support where feasible several distinct kinds of plugin, written in haskell or other languages,
such as reader, processor, writer, formatter, command. See <https://hledger.org/scripting.html#plugin-types>.
