14-September-2008 12:50:34 - Application programming interface Redirected from API API redirects here. For other uses, see API disambiguation. An application programming interface API is a set of functions, procedures or classes that an operating system, library or service provides to support requests made by computer programs.1 Language-dependent APIs are available only in a particular programming language. They utilize the syntax and elements of the programming language to make the API convenient to use in this particular context. Language-independent APIs are written in a way that means they can be called from several programming languages. This is a desired feature for a service-style API which is not bound to a particular process or system and is available as a remote procedure call.

For example, the Linux Standard Base is an ABI Application Binary Interface, while POSIX is an API.2 Distinction between specification and its implementation The software that provides the functionality described by an API is said to be an implementation of the API. The API itself is abstract, in that it specifies an interface and the behavior of the identifiers specified in that interface; it does not specify how the behavior may be implemented. Release policies There are two general kinds of API publishing policies that are often encountered: Some companies protect information on their 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. Such control can have quality control benefits and potential license revenue. Some companies make their 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 platform. API examples Below are listed some well-known APIs. The PC BIOS call interface Comedi Data Acquisition API Single UNIX Specification SUS Windows API The various Java Platform ion APIs Micro, Standard, Enterprise ASPI for SCSI device interfacing Carbon and Cocoa for the Macintosh OS iPhone API OpenGL cross-platform 3D graphics API DirectX for Microsoft Windows Simple DirectMedia Layer SDL Google Maps API MediaWiki API YouTube API PayPal Payment Pro Language bindings and interface generators Below are listed some interface generator tools. SWIG generates interfaces from various languages for Python F2PY: Fortran to Python interface generator.
