Extend

This section explains how developers can add functionality to TensorFlow's capabilities. Begin by reading the following architectural overview:

• TensorFlow Architecture

The following guides explain how to extend particular aspects of TensorFlow:

• Adding a New Op, which explains how to create your own operations.
• Adding a Custom Filesystem Plugin, which explains how to add support for your own shared or distributed filesystem.
• Custom Data Readers, which details how to add support for your own file and record formats.

Python is currently the only language supported by TensorFlow's API stability promises. However, TensorFlow also provides functionality in C++, Go, Java and JavaScript, plus community support for Haskell and Rust. If you'd like to create or develop TensorFlow features in a language other than these languages, read the following guide:
