How does an application integrate with WOS?
Applications communicate with WOS through the WOS Library (WOS-LIB) API. Most customers choose the C++ API because it provides a high performance, callback style interface. If performance is a secondary concern, the API is also available through Java and Python. Other API versions can be made based on customer demand. DataDirect Networks supplies the C++ API libraries which are linked with the customer application. The customer’s application uses the WOS API calls such as GET, PUT, and DELETE to utilize the WOS Cloud. The WOS-LIB must run on any machine that directly accesses the Cloud.
