== Summary == The Blizzard AddOn Interface ToolKit provides extra files and resources to aid WoW AddOn development. These files are extracted versions of interface files from the actual WoW data files found in the WoW install. They bundled separately so that WoW AddOn developers can actually look at, and reference, FrameXML files, Lua files, and other art and resources found in the game itself. These files are used as a basis for knowing how to use the WoW UI APIs and write useful [[AddOn]]s. Most files used by WoW, including the UI files, are found inside the WoW game data files, like the [[MPQ]] archive files. These archive files are sort of like .zip files holding many real files, but are not normally easily accessible to use for reference. Blizzard provides ways to get these game interface files separately, as a convenience for AddOn developers and the community in general. Just as there is no official Blizzard support for WoW AddOn development, there is no official support for the AddOn Toolkit either. However Blizzard had maintained a new Interface AddOn Kit and support page for every major version of WoW up until and including the release of the base patch 4.0 for [[w:c:wowwiki:Cataclysm|Cataclysm]].
