Programming interfaces

The native API of the Daisy repository server is its Java interface. To allow other processes (on the same or another computer) to talk to the repository server, a HTTP+XML based interface is available. Lastly, the Java API of the Daisy repository server is also implemented in a "remote" variant, whereby it transparently uses the HTTP+XML interface to talk to the repository server.

Since a variety of scripting languages can be run on top of the Java VM, it is possible to use the Java API from such scripting languages, which is convenient for smaller jobs.
