When should I use app / libs in cakephp 1.3?

Question

I baked a new application in cake1.3 and I noticed a new directory "libs" in the root of the application. What is this goal and / or when should I use it?

Answer 1

"In addition to the application / vendors, a new application / library directory has been added. This directory may also be part of the plugins located in $plugin/libs .

Libs catalogs are designed to host 1 party libraries that do not come from third parties or external suppliers. This allows you to separate your organization’s internal libraries from vendor libraries.

App :: import () has also been updated to import from libs directories. "
