# Native plug-in APIs

> Implement low-level rendering in your native plug-ins.

Access Unity Editor and Engine functionality such as low-level graphics device features, rendering, shader compiler, memory management, profiling, and logging from your [native plug-in](/engine/6000.6/manual/scripting/compilation-and-code-reload/plug-ins/native.md) code.
