Extbase

Extbase is an extension framework to create TYPO3 frontend plugins and TYPO3 backend modules. Extbase can be used to develop extensions but it does not have to be used.

Extbase is included in the TYPO3 Core as system extension extbase.

Please note: Extbase relies on frontend TypoScript being present; otherwise the configuration is not applied. This is usually no problem - Extbase plugins are typically either included as USER content object (its content is cached and returned together with other content elements in fully-cached page context), or the Extbase plugin is registered as USER_INT. In this case, the TSFE takes care of calculating TypoScript before the plugin is rendered, while other USER content objects are fetched from page cache. This in mind you should not use Extbase in another context, like in middlewares.

There are also tutorials in the Extension Development - Tutorials section.
