History

The EXTBASEPLUGIN allows Extbase authors to not reference the Extbase Bootstrap class anymore, like for previous TYPO3 versions below version 12.

Previously, TypoScript code for Extbase plugins looked like this:

page.10 = USER
page.10 {
    userFunc = TYPO3\\CMS\\Extbase\\Core\\Bootstrap->run
    extensionName = MyExtension
    pluginName = MyPlugin
}

This way still works, but it is recommended to use the EXTBASEPLUGIN content object, as the direct reference to a PHP class (Bootstrap) might be optimized in future versions.

For extension that need to remain compatible with TYPO3 v11 and v12 use, the Bootstrap way should be used.
