Merge discussion
No merge: I think this article warrants it's own article, but also included in the Glossary of Terms. This article is a useful web development resource of all API links and general information - maybe it would be more suited to merge with the individual code articles, or be moved to a more suited name (ie. List of APIs)? Aussiepete 10:20, 19 June 2007 (EST)
- What's listed are languages, not APIs aren't they? APIs are more like libraries that other languages use, eg PHP uses the GD library to provide graphics functions, ie it uses the GD API. Similarly Windows apps use the Windows API, Javascript can use the GoogleMaps API. At least that's my understanding. --Twz 11:21, 19 June 2007 (EST)
- I guess it's going by my definition of API, I see API as being a set of rules, instructions, functions and uses of a programming language. The languages link to sub libraries that have their own set of APIs, but the languages themselves have their own API, almost a bible of all documented variables, functions and uses.
