Exporting project for use by another app

Webj

Hello,
I want to write basically plugin for data visualisation. My another app will use this plugin, feed it information and my plugin will display data e.g. object based on received information.

Is there a way to build godot project as dll, or what would be correct way of doing this.

You can do it the other way, by importing DLLs into Godot as an add-on (GDNative). So you would build your app into the Godot app.

The other option would be to have both apps running and use some process communication (like sockets, a SQL database, etc.) to use Godot as a front end for the real app.

you didn't specify godot version. For godot 3.x search for GDNative for godot 4.x search for GDExtension.
