Adobe Illustrator CEP Extensions API

The Adobe Illustrator Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) allows developers to build panels and extensions using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. CEP extensions run inside Illustrator and can communicate with the application through its scripting interface, enabling developers to create custom user interfaces, integrate with web services, and extend Illustrator's capabilities with modern web technologies. CEP provides a cross-application framework used across Adobe Creative Cloud products.
