Developer guide

The Developer guide includes extensive guidance and reference materials to aid the developer in creating applications and extensions for SkyVault Content Services.

There are a number of approaches to developing for SkyVault Content Services depending on what you want to do. For example, if you are writing a client application, perhaps in Ruby or Python to connect to SkyVault Content Services either on-premise, or SkyVault Share in the Cloud, then you would most likely use the SkyVault Content Services REST API. If on the other hand you wanted to write a server-side extension in Java, you would use the Public Java API, or perhaps write a web script using Java, JavaScript and FreeMarker. Generally if you are creating extensions to SkyVault Content Services you would use the SkyVault SDK. This allows you to work in your IDE of choice, using technologies you already know, such as Java and Maven.

This Developer guide attempts to lay out the various options available to you, so you can use the right approach, depending on what you want to achieve.
