In the [[software development process]], a '''reference implementation''' (or, less frequently, '''sample implementation''' or '''model implementation''') is the standard from which all other implementations and corresponding customizations are derived. A reference implementation often accompanies a [[technical standard]], and demonstrates what should be considered the "correct" behavior of any other implementation of it.
