| - | **Architecture Adaptability** is when the connectors between software components change without having to change the components. This again comes down to having well-defined, stable APIs for the connectors. Unix File System (UnixFS) is a connector between software components and the physical filesystem. For example, the UnixFS library can be exchanged for the [[https://ipfs.io/ | InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) ]] UnixFS connector and the software component should have no to minimal impact.
