Packages allow developers to split applications into small pieces for dynamic linking at runtime, without any degradation in application performance. Packages are like mini-DLLs but are far more sophisticated and flexible. At compile time, the developer simply chooses how an application should be split, to allow efficient library updates or distribution of extremely small executable files. Packages enable the deployment of smaller applications across the Web, decreasing network traffic and download times. Packages help to split out functionality into different system functions and business rules, making it easier to update application parts without having to redeploy and reinstall a whole application or suite of applications.
Packages make it easier to deliver and maintain truly distributed n-tier applications.
