+Here's a selection of recommended extensions that provide essential features,
+streamlined workflows, and powerful enhancements for TYPO3 development.
+

+
+    TYPO3 Console is a powerful command-line tool that simplifies many backend
+    tasks for TYPO3. It allows developers to efficiently manage caches,
+    extensions and system maintenance from the command line, making it an
+    essential tool for automated workflows.
+
+*   Custom content elements: :composer:`mask/mask`
+
+    Mask is an extension that lets developers create custom content elements
+    with ease, directly from the TYPO3 backend. This is ideal for projects that
+    require unique, structured content elements that are easy for editors to
+    use and manage.
+
+*   News Management: :composer:`georgringer/news`
+
+    The News extension is a feature-rich solution for managing news articles
+    and blog posts within TYPO3. It offers a comprehensive set of tools for
+    categorizing, tagging, and displaying news content, making it perfect for
+    content-heavy sites.
+
+*   Content Blocks: :composer:`friendsoftypo3/content-blocks`
+
+    Content Blocks enable the creation of reusable content elements that can be
+    added to pages in a modular way. This extension is beneficial for sites
+    requiring flexible, component-based design, and simplifies content
+    structuring for editors.
+
+*   Containers: :composer:`b13/container`
+
+    The Container extension offers a grid layout system, allowing developers to
+    group multiple content elements into a container. This helps organize page
+    layouts more flexibly, especially useful for responsive or complex designs.
+
+*   Enterprise Search Integration: :composer:`apache-solr-for-typo3/solr`
+
+    Apache Solr for TYPO3 provides a powerful, scalable search solution for

+    high-performance search is required.
+
+*   Built-in TYPO3 Search: :composer:`typo3/cms-indexed-search`
+
+    The Indexed Search extension provides an out-of-the-box search feature for
+    TYPO3. It is straightforward to set up and integrates well with TYPO3's
+    core, making it a great solution for sites that require basic search
+    without additional configuration.
+
+*   Elasticsearch Integration: :composer:`elasticsearch/elasticsearch`
