With the backdrop of the Superstition Mountains, you have a scenic mountain bike trail network that can embody every quality of off-road riding in the Southwest.  If you treasured this article therefore you would like to receive more info pertaining to [http://a.thedeltalog.com/delta/index.php?task=profile&id=590967 Biking for modern life mountain bike sizing.] generously visit our webpage. You'll ask yourself this question in conjunction with "how much will you pay. High end mountain bikes use carbon fibre frames, or other, more exotic materials to reduce weight and keep stiffness up. Generally speaking, a good, durable mountain bike starts at about $600 and goes up from there. Look at what other riders appreciate about their bikes. <br><br>

Once you are sure that this is what you want to do, it is now time for you to decide on the bike. If you're planning on doing mostly road biking with the occasional cross country trip, and only once in a while going down an actual mountain. The owner's son is a mountain biker, and very friendly, but little gestures of courtesy go a long way in ensuring goodwill between the mountain biking and non-mountain biking communities. If biking is your passion or your favorite sport, then you know the worth of good accessories while riding. If you are riding through a rock garden, for instance, you don't want a fork that is bouncing you all over the place. <br><br>It seems there is still ongoing trail expansion, so I predict a great future for the Gold Canyon trails. That's a level of quality you just don't get from many brands these days. The tube sits next to your mouth so you can sip as you ride. In no time you'll be cruising through the woods and getting into great shape. We have built a number of thousand semi custom wheels for all kinds of bikes, and will probably be happy to do the exact same for you. <br><br>It works great unless you have some physical issue. The more bikes you can test drive, you better you'll understand what works and what doesn't. But older children may have more adventurous tastes, and want for toys that are - well, still miniatures, but are flashier, more expensive, and more functional. People like to ride the mountain bike to those terrains because they enjoy the thrill and the adventure. But that wasn't the bad part 'cause, see, those two almost invisible grey hairs were only a distraction from the real culprit. <br><br>Getting stuck in a trap is one way beginners kill their scores. The circumstances will dictate which method to use. Mountain biking amongst the majestic backdrop of the great mountains of Kerala is an unforgettable and thrilling experience. Hence, XC suspension forks tend to have a short travel and are light weight. How do you think people managed decades ago when steel was the only material frames were made of.
An '''application programming interface''' ('''API''') [[specification|specifies]] how some [[software component]]s should interact with each other.
 
In addition to accessing [[database]]s or [[computer hardware]], such as [[hard disk drive]]s or [[video card]]s, an API can be used to ease the work of programming [[graphical user interface]] components.  In practice, many times an API comes in the form of a [[Library (computing)|library]] that includes specifications for [[subroutine|routines]], [[data structure]]s, [[Class (computer programming)|object classes]], and variables.  In some other cases, notably for [[SOAP]] and [[REST]] [[Web service|services]], an API comes as just a specification of [[Remote procedure call|remote calls]] exposed to the API consumers.<ref>{{cite web

An API specification can take many forms, including an International Standard such as [[POSIX]], vendor documentation such as the [[Microsoft]] [[Windows API]], the [[Library (computing)|libraries]] of a [[programming language]], e.g., [[Standard Template Library]] in [[C++]] or [[Java API]]. Web APIs are also a vital component of today's web fabric. An API differs from an [[application binary interface]] (ABI) in that an API is source code based while an ABI is a binary interface. For instance [[POSIX]] is an API, while the [[Linux Standard Base]] is an ABI.<ref>{{cite web|

==Detailed explanation==
 
===API in procedural  languages===
In most procedural languages, an API specifies a set of [[subroutine|functions or routines]] that accomplish a specific task or are allowed to interact with a specific software component. This specification is presented in a human readable format in paper books, or in electronic formats like ebooks or as [[man page]]s. For example, the math API on [[Unix]] systems is a specification on how to use the mathematical functions included in the math library. Among these functions there is a function, named <code>sqrt()</code>, that can be used to compute the square root of a given number.
 
The Unix command <code>man 3 sqrt</code> presents the [[Type signature#Signature|signature]] of the function <code>sqrt</code> in the form:
<source lang="C">
SYNOPSIS
            #include <math.h>
            double sqrt(double X);
            float  sqrtf(float X);
DESCRIPTION
      sqrt computes the positive square root of the argument. ...
RETURNS
      On success, the square root is returned. If X is real and positive...
</source>
 
This description means that <code>sqrt()</code> function returns the square root of a positive floating point number (<code>single</code> or <code>double</code> precision), as another floating point number.
 
Hence the API in this case can be interpreted as the collection of the [[include file]]s used by a program, written in the C language, to reference that library function, and its human readable description provided by the [[man page]]s.
 
Similarly, other languages have procedural libraries; for example, [[Perl]] has dedicated APIs for the same mathematical task with built-in documentation available, which is accessible using the [[perldoc]] utility:
<pre>
$ perldoc -f sqrt
      sqrt EXPR
      sqrt    #Return the square root of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, returns
              #square root of $_.  Only works on non-negative operands, unless
              #you've loaded the standard Math::Complex module.
</pre>
 
===API in object-oriented languages===
In its simplest form an object API is a prescription of how ''objects work'' in a given object-oriented language: usually it is expressed as set [[Class (computer science)|classes]] with an associated list of [[class method]]s.
 
For example, in the [[Java (programming language)|Java language]], if the class <code>Scanner</code> is to be used (a class that reads input from the user in text-based programs), importing the <code>java.util.Scanner</code> library is required so objects of type <code>Scanner</code> can be used by invoking some of the class' methods:
 
<source lang="Java">
public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("Enter your name: ");
      Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
      String name = inputScanner.nextLine();
      System.out.println("Your name is " + name + ".");
      inputScanner.close();
  }
}
</source>
 
In the example above, methods <code>nextLine()</code> and <code>close()</code> are part of the API for the <code>Scanner</code> class, and hence are described in the documentation for that API.
 
More generally, in [[object oriented|object-oriented]] languages, an API usually includes a description of a set of [[Class (computer science)|class]] definitions, with a set of behaviors associated with those classes. This abstract concept is associated with the real functionality exposed, or made available, by the classes that are implemented in terms of [[class method]]s (or more generally by all its public components hence all public methods, but also possibly including any internal entity made public, like fields, constants, nested objects, enums, etc.).
 
The API in this case can be conceived of as the totality of all the methods publicly exposed by the classes (usually called the class ''interface''). This means that the API prescribes the methods by which one interacts with/handles the objects derived from the class definitions.
 
More generally, one can see the API as the collection of all the ''kinds'' of objects one can derive from the class definitions, and their associated possible behaviors. Again: the use is mediated by the public methods, but in this interpretation, the methods are seen as a ''technical detail'' of how the behavior is implemented.
 
For instance: a class representing a <code>[[Stack (data structure)|Stack]]</code> can simply expose publicly two methods <code>push()</code> (to add a new item to the stack), and <code>pop()</code> (to extract the last item, ideally placed on top of the stack).
 
In this case the API can be interpreted as the two methods <code>pop()</code> and <code>push()</code>, or, more generally, as the ''idea'' that one can use an item of type <code>Stack</code> that implements the behavior of a stack: a pile ''exposing'' its top to add/remove elements. The second interpretation appears more appropriate in the spirit of [[object oriented|object orientation]].
 
This concept can be carried to the point where a class interface in an API has no methods at all, but only behaviors associated with it. For instance, the [[Java language]] and [[Lisp (programming language)]] API include the [[java interface|interface]] <code>Serializable</code>, which is a [[Marker interface pattern|marker interface]] that requires that each class, that implements it, should behave in a [[Serialization|serialized]] fashion. This does not require to have any public method, but rather requires that any class that implements it to have a representation that can be ''saved'' (serialized) at any time.<ref>this is typically true for any class containing simple data and no link to external resources, like an open connection to a file, a remote system, or an external device</ref>
 
Similarly the behavior of an object in a [[Concurrent programming|concurrent]] ([[Thread (computer science)|multi-threaded]]) environment is not necessarily determined by specific methods, belonging to the interface implemented, but still belongs to the API for that Class of objects, and should be described in the documentation.<ref>{{cite web

|ISBN    = 978-0-321-35668-0}}</ref>
 
In this sense, in object-oriented languages, the API defines a set of object behaviors, possibly mediated by a set of class methods.
 
In such languages, the API is still distributed as a library. For example, the Java language libraries include a set of APIs that are provided in the form of the [[JDK]] used by the developers to build new Java programs. The JDK includes the documentation of the API in [[JavaDoc]] notation.
 
The quality of the documentation associated with an API is often a factor determining its success in terms of ease of use.
 
===API libraries and frameworks===
An API is usually related to a [[software library]]: the API describes and prescribes the ''expected behavior'' while the library is an ''actual implementation'' of this set of rules.
A single API can have multiple implementations (or none, being abstract) in the form of different libraries that share the same programming interface.
 
An API can also be related to a [[Framework (computer science)|software framework]]: a framework can be based on several libraries implementing several APIs, but unlike the normal use of an API, the ''access'' to the behavior ''built into the framework'' is mediated by extending its content with new classes plugged into the framework itself.
Moreover the overall program flow of control can be out of the control of the caller, and in the hands of the framework via [[inversion of control]] or a similar mechanism.<ref>{{cite web

}}
</ref>
 
===API and protocols===
An API can also be an implementation of a [[Communications protocol|protocol]].
 
When an API implements a protocol it can be based on [[Proxy pattern|proxy]] methods for remote invocations that underneath rely on the communication protocol.
The role of the API can be exactly to hide the detail of the transport protocol.
E.g.: [[Java remote method invocation|RMI]] is an API that implements the [[JRMP]] protocol or the [[IIOP]] as [[RMI-IIOP]].
 
Protocols are usually shared between different technologies (system based on given computer programming languages in a given operating system) and usually allow the different technologies to exchange information, acting as an abstraction/mediation level between the two different environments. APIs are usually specific to a given technology: hence the APIs of a given language cannot be used in other languages, unless the function calls are wrapped with specific adaptation libraries.
 
To enable the exchange of information among systems that use different technologies, when an API implements a protocol, it can prescribe a ''language-neutral'' message format: e.g. [[SOAP]] uses [[XML]] as a general container for the messages to be exchanged.
 
====Object exchange API and protocols====
An object API can prescribe a specific (local) object exchange format, an object exchange protocol can define a way to transfer the same kind of information in a message sent to a remote system.
 
When a message is exchanged via a protocol between two different platforms using objects on both sides, the object in a programming language can be transformed ([[Marshalling (computer science)|marshalled and unmarshalled]]) in an object in a remote and different language: so, e.g., a program written in [[Java language|Java]] invokes a service via [[SOAP]] or [[IIOP]] written in [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] both programs use APIs for remote invocation (each locally to the machine where they are working) to (remotely) exchange information that they both convert from/to an object in local memory.
 
Instead when a similar object is exchanged via an API local to a single machine the object is effectively exchanged (or a [[Reference (computer science)|reference]] to it) in memory: e.g. via memory allocated by a single process, or among multiple processes using [[shared memory]], an [[application server]], or other sharing technologies like [[tuple spaces]].
 
====Object remoting API and protocols====
An object remoting API is based on a remoting protocol, such as [[CORBA]], that allows remote object method invocation.  A method call, executed locally on a proxy object, invokes the corresponding method on the remote object, using the remoting protocol, and acquires the result to be used locally as return value.
 
When remoting is in place, a modification on the proxy object corresponds to a modification on the remote object. When only an object transfer takes place, the modification to the local copy of the object is not reflected on the original object, unless the object is sent back to the sending system.
 
===API sharing and reuse via virtual machine===
{{Expand section|date=December 2013}}
 
Some languages like those running in a [[virtual machine]] (e.g. [[List of CLI languages|.NET CLI compliant languages]] in the [[Common Language Runtime]] (CLR), and [[List of JVM languages|JVM compliant languages]] in the [[Java Virtual Machine]]) can share an API.  In this case, a virtual machine enables [[language interoperability]], by abstracting a programming language using an intermediate [[bytecode]] and its [[language binding]]s.
 
==Web APIs==
{{Main|Web API}}
When used in the context of [[web development]], an API is typically defined as a set of [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol]] (HTTP) request messages, along with a definition of the structure of response messages, which is usually in an Extensible Markup Language ([[XML]]) or JavaScript Object Notation ([[JSON]]) format. While "web API" historically has been virtually synonymous for [[web service]], the recent trend (so-called [[Web 2.0]]) has been moving away from Simple Object Access Protocol ([[SOAP]]) based web services and [[service-oriented architecture]] (SOA) towards more direct [[representational state transfer]] (REST) style [[web resource]]s and [[resource-oriented architecture]] (ROA).<ref>

===Web use to share content===
The practice of publishing APIs has allowed web communities to create an open architecture for sharing content and data between communities and applications. In this way, content that is created in one place can be dynamically posted and updated in multiple locations on the web:
* Photos can be shared from sites like [[Flickr]] and [[Photobucket]] to [[Social networking websites|social network]] sites like [[Facebook]] and [[MySpace]].
* Content can be embedded, e.g. embedding a presentation from [[Slide hosting services|SlideShare]] on a [[LinkedIn]] profile.
* Content can be dynamically posted. Sharing live comments made on [[Twitter]] with a Facebook account, for example, is enabled by their APIs.
* Video content can be embedded on sites served by another host.
* User information can be shared from web communities to outside applications, delivering new functionality to the web community that shares its user data via an open API. One of the best examples of this is the [[Facebook Platform|Facebook Application platform]]. Another is the [[Open Social]] platform.<ref>{{cite web
| url = http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/index.html
| title = OpenSocial API Documentation
| accessdate = 2007-11-02
| work = Google Code
| publisher = Google
}}</ref>
* If content is a direct representation of the physical world (e.g., temperature at a geospatial location on earth) then an API can be considered an "Environmental Programming Interface" (EPI).  EPIs are characterized by their ability to provide a means for universally sequencing events sufficient to utilize real-world data for decision making.
 
==Implementations==
The [[POSIX]] standard defines an API that allows writing a wide range of common computing functions in a way such that they can operate on many different systems ([[Mac OS X]], and various [[Berkeley Software Distribution]]s (BSDs) implement this interface). However, using this requires [[Compiler|re-compiling]] for each platform. A compatible API, on the other hand, allows compiled [[object code]] to function with no changes to the system that implements that API. This is beneficial to both software providers (where they may distribute existing software on new systems without producing and distributing upgrades) and users (where they may install older software on their new systems without purchasing upgrades), although this generally requires that various [[software libraries]] implement the necessary APIs as well.
 
[[Microsoft]] has shown a strong commitment to a backward compatible API, particularly within their [[Windows API]] (Win32) library, such that older applications may run on newer versions of Windows using an executable-specific setting called "Compatibility Mode".<ref>
{{cite web
|author      = Microsoft

|title= Support for Windows XP
|publisher  = Microsoft
|page      = 4
|date=October 2001}}</ref>
 
Among [[Unix-like]] operating systems, there are many related but incompatible operating systems running on a common hardware platform (particularly [[Intel 80386]]-compatible systems). There have been several attempts to standardize the API such that software vendors may distribute one binary application for all these systems; however, to date, none of these has met with much success. The [[Linux Standard Base]] is attempting to do this for the [[Linux]] platform, while many of the BSD Unixes, such as [[FreeBSD]], [[NetBSD]], and [[OpenBSD]], implement various levels of API compatibility for both backward compatibility (allowing programs written for older versions to run on newer distributions of the system) and cross-platform compatibility (allowing execution of foreign code without recompiling).
 
==Release policies==
The main policies for releasing an API are:
 
* Protecting information on APIs from the general public. For example, [[Sony]] used to make its official [[PlayStation 2]] API available only to licensed PlayStation developers. This enabled Sony to control who wrote PlayStation 2 games. This gives companies quality control privileges and can provide them with potential licensing revenue streams.
* Making APIs freely available. For example, [[Microsoft]] makes the [[Microsoft Windows]] API public, and [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] releases its APIs [[Carbon (computing)|Carbon]] and [[Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]], so that software can be written for their [[System platform|platform]]s.
 
A mix of the two behaviors can be used as well.
 
==APIs and copyrights==
In 2010, [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]] [[Oracle_Corporation#Lawsuit_against_Google|sued]] [[Google]] for having distributed a new implementation of [[Java (programming language)|Java]] embedded in the [[Android (operating system)|Android]] operating system.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.drdobbs.com/jvm/232901227 |title=Oracle and the End of Programming As We Know It |publisher=DrDobbs |date=2012-05-01 |accessdate=2012-05-09}}</ref> Google had not acquired any permission to reproduce the Java API, although a similar permission had been given to the [[OpenJDK]] project. Judge [[William Alsup]] ruled in the [[Oracle v. Google]] case that APIs cannot be [[copyrighted]] in the U.S, and that a victory for Oracle would have widely expanded copyright protection and allowed the copyrighting of simple software commands:
 
<blockquote>To accept Oracle's claim would be to allow anyone to copyright one version of code to carry out a system of commands and thereby bar all others from writing their own different versions to carry out all or part of the same commands.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tgdaily.com/business-and-law-features/63756-apis-cant-be-copyrighted-says-judge-in-oracle-case |title=APIs Can't be Copyrighted Says Judge in Oracle Case |publisher=TGDaily |date=2012-06-01 |accessdate=2012-12-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web

==Language bindings and interface generators==
APIs that are intended to be used by more than one [[high-level programming language]] often provide, or are augmented with, facilities to automatically map the API to features ([[syntactic]] or [[semantic]]) that are more natural in those languages. This is known as [[language binding]], and is itself an API. The aim is to [[Encapsulation (computer science)|encapsulate]] most of the required functionality of the API, leaving a "thin" layer appropriate to each language.

my page - www.hostgator1centcoupon.info There are tons of property brokers in Singapore and it may be laborious to distinguish the good from the dangerous. It is a big sum of money invested in property for most Singaporeans, be it business leasing or shopping for a home, so choose the right property agent in the present day by looking out for these signs. 1. Proactiveness

This is another simple approach for all property agents who wish to claim this PIC grant. The IRAS has some PIC seminar classes which might be specially created for all business homeowners. This seminar goes to share all important information about the PIC grant. You can even study on how you can apply this PIC scheme simply, legally, and rapidly. You don't have to spend your time for making use of this grant after taking this seminar. This seminar is officially held by the IRAS to coach all enterprise house owners in Singapore.

Ultimately, whose fault is it actually? I believe it is ultimately the federal government's fault, for not developing with higher legislature to control the trade, the individuals who work in the business and the developers. They need to change the law so that patrons pay their own agents and sellers pay their very own brokers to create a wholesome and honest enterprise atmosphere. Of course VicLand is also answerable for being so callous about not informing their own in home agents that unit was no longer out there. Most likely was not obtainable even once we went to view it yesterday. And ECG additionally has to take blame for being so unprofessional and virtually unethical by resorting to what equal to a black mail tactics to make a sale.

The landlord has the proper to deduct all costs of damages and bills arising from any breach of contract as stated in the Tenancy Agreement. For this reason, it's advised that, if any damage occurs to the property which does fall under the conventional wear and tear clause, the tenant carries out the repairs themselves as this will be cheaper than ready for the landlord to do it. Unless an proprietor has entered into a sole or exclusive association, he may appoint a number of agents to discover a purchaser or tenant for him. Fret not, as we've confirmed methods, proven methods, observe records andstate-of-the-art technologies to make you a profitable property agent, a minimize above the remaining.

An application programming interface (API) specifies how some software components should interact with each other.

In addition to accessing databases or computer hardware, such as hard disk drives or video cards, an API can be used to ease the work of programming graphical user interface components. In practice, many times an API comes in the form of a library that includes specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, and variables. In some other cases, notably for SOAP and REST services, an API comes as just a specification of remote calls exposed to the API consumers.[1]

An API specification can take many forms, including an International Standard such as POSIX, vendor documentation such as the Microsoft Windows API, the libraries of a programming language, e.g., Standard Template Library in C++ or Java API. Web APIs are also a vital component of today's web fabric. An API differs from an application binary interface (ABI) in that an API is source code based while an ABI is a binary interface. For instance POSIX is an API, while the Linux Standard Base is an ABI.[2]

Detailed explanation

API in procedural languages

In most procedural languages, an API specifies a set of functions or routines that accomplish a specific task or are allowed to interact with a specific software component. This specification is presented in a human readable format in paper books, or in electronic formats like ebooks or as man pages. For example, the math API on Unix systems is a specification on how to use the mathematical functions included in the math library. Among these functions there is a function, named sqrt(), that can be used to compute the square root of a given number.

The Unix command man 3 sqrt presents the signature of the function sqrt in the form:

SYNOPSIS
            #include <math.h>
            double sqrt(double X);
            float  sqrtf(float X);
DESCRIPTION
       sqrt computes the positive square root of the argument. ...
RETURNS
       On success, the square root is returned. If X is real and positive...

This description means that sqrt() function returns the square root of a positive floating point number (single or double precision), as another floating point number.

Hence the API in this case can be interpreted as the collection of the include files used by a program, written in the C language, to reference that library function, and its human readable description provided by the man pages.

Similarly, other languages have procedural libraries; for example, Perl has dedicated APIs for the same mathematical task with built-in documentation available, which is accessible using the perldoc utility:

$ perldoc -f sqrt
       sqrt EXPR
       sqrt    #Return the square root of EXPR.  If EXPR is omitted, returns
               #square root of $_.  Only works on non-negative operands, unless
               #you've loaded the standard Math::Complex module.

API in object-oriented languages

In its simplest form an object API is a prescription of how objects work in a given object-oriented language: usually it is expressed as set classes with an associated list of class methods.

For example, in the Java language, if the class Scanner is to be used (a class that reads input from the user in text-based programs), importing the java.util.Scanner library is required so objects of type Scanner can be used by invoking some of the class' methods:

public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       System.out.println("Enter your name: ");
       Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
       String name = inputScanner.nextLine();
       System.out.println("Your name is " + name + ".");
       inputScanner.close();
  }
}

In the example above, methods nextLine() and close() are part of the API for the Scanner class, and hence are described in the documentation for that API.

More generally, in object-oriented languages, an API usually includes a description of a set of class definitions, with a set of behaviors associated with those classes. This abstract concept is associated with the real functionality exposed, or made available, by the classes that are implemented in terms of class methods (or more generally by all its public components hence all public methods, but also possibly including any internal entity made public, like fields, constants, nested objects, enums, etc.).

The API in this case can be conceived of as the totality of all the methods publicly exposed by the classes (usually called the class interface). This means that the API prescribes the methods by which one interacts with/handles the objects derived from the class definitions.

More generally, one can see the API as the collection of all the kinds of objects one can derive from the class definitions, and their associated possible behaviors. Again: the use is mediated by the public methods, but in this interpretation, the methods are seen as a technical detail of how the behavior is implemented.

For instance: a class representing a Stack can simply expose publicly two methods push() (to add a new item to the stack), and pop() (to extract the last item, ideally placed on top of the stack).

In this case the API can be interpreted as the two methods pop() and push(), or, more generally, as the idea that one can use an item of type Stack that implements the behavior of a stack: a pile exposing its top to add/remove elements. The second interpretation appears more appropriate in the spirit of object orientation.

This concept can be carried to the point where a class interface in an API has no methods at all, but only behaviors associated with it. For instance, the Java language and Lisp (programming language) API include the interface Serializable, which is a marker interface that requires that each class, that implements it, should behave in a serialized fashion. This does not require to have any public method, but rather requires that any class that implements it to have a representation that can be saved (serialized) at any time.[3]

Similarly the behavior of an object in a concurrent (multi-threaded) environment is not necessarily determined by specific methods, belonging to the interface implemented, but still belongs to the API for that Class of objects, and should be described in the documentation.[4]

In this sense, in object-oriented languages, the API defines a set of object behaviors, possibly mediated by a set of class methods.

In such languages, the API is still distributed as a library. For example, the Java language libraries include a set of APIs that are provided in the form of the JDK used by the developers to build new Java programs. The JDK includes the documentation of the API in JavaDoc notation.

The quality of the documentation associated with an API is often a factor determining its success in terms of ease of use.

API libraries and frameworks

An API is usually related to a software library: the API describes and prescribes the expected behavior while the library is an actual implementation of this set of rules. A single API can have multiple implementations (or none, being abstract) in the form of different libraries that share the same programming interface.

An API can also be related to a software framework: a framework can be based on several libraries implementing several APIs, but unlike the normal use of an API, the access to the behavior built into the framework is mediated by extending its content with new classes plugged into the framework itself. Moreover the overall program flow of control can be out of the control of the caller, and in the hands of the framework via inversion of control or a similar mechanism.[5][6]

API and protocols

An API can also be an implementation of a protocol.

When an API implements a protocol it can be based on proxy methods for remote invocations that underneath rely on the communication protocol. The role of the API can be exactly to hide the detail of the transport protocol. E.g.: RMI is an API that implements the JRMP protocol or the IIOP as RMI-IIOP.

Protocols are usually shared between different technologies (system based on given computer programming languages in a given operating system) and usually allow the different technologies to exchange information, acting as an abstraction/mediation level between the two different environments. APIs are usually specific to a given technology: hence the APIs of a given language cannot be used in other languages, unless the function calls are wrapped with specific adaptation libraries.

To enable the exchange of information among systems that use different technologies, when an API implements a protocol, it can prescribe a language-neutral message format: e.g. SOAP uses XML as a general container for the messages to be exchanged.

Object exchange API and protocols

An object API can prescribe a specific (local) object exchange format, an object exchange protocol can define a way to transfer the same kind of information in a message sent to a remote system.

When a message is exchanged via a protocol between two different platforms using objects on both sides, the object in a programming language can be transformed (marshalled and unmarshalled) in an object in a remote and different language: so, e.g., a program written in Java invokes a service via SOAP or IIOP written in C# both programs use APIs for remote invocation (each locally to the machine where they are working) to (remotely) exchange information that they both convert from/to an object in local memory.

Instead when a similar object is exchanged via an API local to a single machine the object is effectively exchanged (or a reference to it) in memory: e.g. via memory allocated by a single process, or among multiple processes using shared memory, an application server, or other sharing technologies like tuple spaces.

Object remoting API and protocols

An object remoting API is based on a remoting protocol, such as CORBA, that allows remote object method invocation. A method call, executed locally on a proxy object, invokes the corresponding method on the remote object, using the remoting protocol, and acquires the result to be used locally as return value.

When remoting is in place, a modification on the proxy object corresponds to a modification on the remote object. When only an object transfer takes place, the modification to the local copy of the object is not reflected on the original object, unless the object is sent back to the sending system.

API sharing and reuse via virtual machine

Template:Expand section

Some languages like those running in a virtual machine (e.g. .NET CLI compliant languages in the Common Language Runtime (CLR), and JVM compliant languages in the Java Virtual Machine) can share an API. In this case, a virtual machine enables language interoperability, by abstracting a programming language using an intermediate bytecode and its language bindings.

Web APIs

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. When used in the context of web development, an API is typically defined as a set of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request messages, along with a definition of the structure of response messages, which is usually in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. While "web API" historically has been virtually synonymous for web service, the recent trend (so-called Web 2.0) has been moving away from Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) towards more direct representational state transfer (REST) style web resources and resource-oriented architecture (ROA).[7] Part of this trend is related to the Semantic Web movement toward Resource Description Framework (RDF), a concept to promote web-based ontology engineering technologies. Web APIs allow the combination of multiple APIs into new applications known as mashups.[8]

Web use to share content

The practice of publishing APIs has allowed web communities to create an open architecture for sharing content and data between communities and applications. In this way, content that is created in one place can be dynamically posted and updated in multiple locations on the web:

  • Photos can be shared from sites like Flickr and Photobucket to social network sites like Facebook and MySpace.
  • Content can be embedded, e.g. embedding a presentation from SlideShare on a LinkedIn profile.
  • Content can be dynamically posted. Sharing live comments made on Twitter with a Facebook account, for example, is enabled by their APIs.
  • Video content can be embedded on sites served by another host.
  • User information can be shared from web communities to outside applications, delivering new functionality to the web community that shares its user data via an open API. One of the best examples of this is the Facebook Application platform. Another is the Open Social platform.[9]
  • If content is a direct representation of the physical world (e.g., temperature at a geospatial location on earth) then an API can be considered an "Environmental Programming Interface" (EPI). EPIs are characterized by their ability to provide a means for universally sequencing events sufficient to utilize real-world data for decision making.

Implementations

The POSIX standard defines an API that allows writing a wide range of common computing functions in a way such that they can operate on many different systems (Mac OS X, and various Berkeley Software Distributions (BSDs) implement this interface). However, using this requires re-compiling for each platform. A compatible API, on the other hand, allows compiled object code to function with no changes to the system that implements that API. This is beneficial to both software providers (where they may distribute existing software on new systems without producing and distributing upgrades) and users (where they may install older software on their new systems without purchasing upgrades), although this generally requires that various software libraries implement the necessary APIs as well.

Microsoft has shown a strong commitment to a backward compatible API, particularly within their Windows API (Win32) library, such that older applications may run on newer versions of Windows using an executable-specific setting called "Compatibility Mode".[10]

Among Unix-like operating systems, there are many related but incompatible operating systems running on a common hardware platform (particularly Intel 80386-compatible systems). There have been several attempts to standardize the API such that software vendors may distribute one binary application for all these systems; however, to date, none of these has met with much success. The Linux Standard Base is attempting to do this for the Linux platform, while many of the BSD Unixes, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, implement various levels of API compatibility for both backward compatibility (allowing programs written for older versions to run on newer distributions of the system) and cross-platform compatibility (allowing execution of foreign code without recompiling).

Release policies

The main policies for releasing an API are:

  • Protecting information on APIs from the general public. For example, Sony used to make its official PlayStation 2 API available only to licensed PlayStation developers. This enabled Sony to control who wrote PlayStation 2 games. This gives companies quality control privileges and can provide them with potential licensing revenue streams.
  • Making APIs freely available. For example, Microsoft makes the Microsoft Windows API public, and Apple releases its APIs Carbon and Cocoa, so that software can be written for their platforms.

A mix of the two behaviors can be used as well.

APIs and copyrights

In 2010, Oracle sued Google for having distributed a new implementation of Java embedded in the Android operating system.[11] Google had not acquired any permission to reproduce the Java API, although a similar permission had been given to the OpenJDK project. Judge William Alsup ruled in the Oracle v. Google case that APIs cannot be copyrighted in the U.S, and that a victory for Oracle would have widely expanded copyright protection and allowed the copyrighting of simple software commands:

To accept Oracle's claim would be to allow anyone to copyright one version of code to carry out a system of commands and thereby bar all others from writing their own different versions to carry out all or part of the same commands.[12][13]

Language bindings and interface generators

APIs that are intended to be used by more than one high-level programming language often provide, or are augmented with, facilities to automatically map the API to features (syntactic or semantic) that are more natural in those languages. This is known as language binding, and is itself an API. The aim is to encapsulate most of the required functionality of the API, leaving a "thin" layer appropriate to each language.

Below are listed some interface generator tools that bind languages to APIs at compile time.

  • SWIG open-source interfaces bindings generator from many languages to many languages (Typically Compiled->Scripted)
  • F2PY:[14] Fortran to Python interface generator.
