Codeigniter 2.0 third_party folder

Question

What is this the third_party folder in codeigniter 2.0 and how to use that?

Answer 1

Packages are new to CI2.0 that allow for the easy distribution of complete sets of resources in a single directory, containing models, libraries, helpers etc...but not to be confused with modules, as Phil Sturgeon points out quite helpfully.

$this->load->add_package_path()
