I put this PR on a back burner :). As I pointed out in https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/3640#issuecomment-580413432, it is my understand that xarray will need to define a minimal plotting API for this entrypoint feature to work properly. Would this plotting API be something xarray devs would be willing to have/support? Cc @shoyer @dcherian @jhamman
I could be missing something here. So please let me know if there is another way of getting the entrypoint feature to work without needing to define a plotting API that third-party visualization libraries adheres to.

Yep, that's the basic idea. Every call to `DataFrame.plot.` begins with a [check for the active backend](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/v1.0.0/pandas/plotting/_core.py#L767). Based on the configured value, we the correct backend, make the call, and return the result.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,539394615

- Pandas provides a well defined [plotting API](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/v1.0.0/pandas/plotting/_core.py)
- At runtime, Pandas figures out the right backend to use via [`_get_plot_backend()`](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/v1.0.0/pandas/plotting/_core.py#L1645) and then dispatches the plotting functionality to this backend.
This approach makes interfacing with Pandas objects easy as long as the plotting library adheres to this plotting API. Currently, Xarray's plotting API is closely tied to matplotlib. To support entrypoint for other plotting backend will likely require defining something similar to [Pandas's plotting API](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/v1.0.0/pandas/plotting/_core.py). **Is my interpretation correct?**

A while back I opened this issue https://github.com/holoviz/hvplot/issues/392. I am about to make modifications to hvplot/holoviews locally to test that this PR is going to work as expected. Once I have a better understanding of what's needed, I will report back.
