SkyVault provides a wide range of APIs.
The following diagram illustrates the key SkyVault APIs:
As the above picture shows, there are three different kinds of customizations that you can build for SkyVault. Platform embedded extensions, Share embedded extensions, and remote extensions, also referred to as integrations.
On the platform (server side) you can add Java code and JavaScript code to extend the platform with new custom functionality such as Java Services, Repository Web Scripts, Actions, Scheduled jobs and more. These extensions are embedded in the Platform application and run in the same JVM as the SkyVault Platform. When developing platform extensions you use the Public Java APIand the Repository JavaScript API and Repository Freemarker Template API.
On the web client side you can extend SkyVault Share with new pages, dashlets, document library actions and more. These extensions are embedded in the Share web application and run in the same JVM as SkyVault Share. When developing Share extensions you use the Aikau Widget and Services Reference/API and the Spring Surf API.
Finally, you can also build stand-alone applications and web clients that talk to the SkyVault Repository remotely. These integrations will use the REST API.
In the following topics you will obtain a brief overview of the APIs, their use cases, and links to further information.
