In one embodiment, a method receives configuration information for a set of components of an extensible application. A component in the set of components includes extending information if the component is an extension of another component and hosting information if the component is hosting a set of extension points. A computing device dynamically generates an extension structure at runtime of the application from the configuration information. The extension structure is generated by connecting components together based on the extending information and the hosting information of the set of components. A navigation request to a target component is received and a path of components to the target component is determined using the extension structure. The path of components is traversed until the target component is loaded and the target component is displayed.
