Application Service API
=======================
The Matrix client-server API and server-server APIs provide the means to
implement a consistent self-contained federated messaging fabric. However, they
provide limited means of implementing custom server-side behaviour in Matrix
(e.g. gateways, filters, extensible hooks etc).
Defining a standard API to allow such extensible functionality to be implemented
irrespective of the underlying homeserver implementation is key to enabling
these services.
