This plugin is a framework for developers who need to integrate external image sources into a content management system's native media uploader. It is designed for site builders and content creators who regularly use stock photo libraries or other third-party image services and want a unified workflow.

• Media Library Integration: The plugin adds a new tab to the standard media uploader interface, allowing you to search for and select images from connected external providers without navigating away from the post editor.
• Developer Framework: It provides a structured way for developers to create 'provider' add-ons. This means the core plugin handles the integration, while separate extensions can be built for specific services like Unsplash, Pexels, or custom image APIs.
• Direct Insertion: Selected images from external sources can be inserted into posts and pages directly, functioning similarly to locally uploaded media. This removes the need to download images to your computer first and then upload them manually.
• Centralized Management: By bringing external image sources into the existing media interface, it helps maintain a consistent content creation process. Users don't have to learn multiple different systems for sourcing imagery.
