Application Programming Interface
An application programming interface (API) is a specification intended to be used as an interface by software components to communicate with each other.
SmartSimple supports three different APIs.
- JSON based API. This is current and fully supported API. SmartSimple plans to enhance this API for foreseeable future.
- Web Services API to support server to server communication via the Internet – Apache Axis2 based.
- Browser based communication to the Server - Ajax based named Pandora.
