What is MSD's API Framework?It's an Application Programming Interface (API) to the EBI-PDBe database
consisting of a series of functions that external, 3rd party software can
use, to allow their systems to access the EBI-PDBe database independently.
Using these tools developers and Bioinformaticians can develop their own
applications either by calling the PDBe Web API as an External Service based
on Web Services, or through
Native PDBe APIs, as local method calls. The PDBe Web API uses the SOAP and WSDL standards so developers can
program in their favourite environment - such as Java, C/C++, Perl,...to
build Client-Server, Peer-to-Peer and Stand-Alone applications. API ArchitectureA three layer architecture including: Data layer, Scientific (Chemical) layer and User layer has been designed and implemented for the API.
InteroperabilitySOAP is a language and platform neutral RPC protocol that adopts XML as the marshalling format. SOAP applications typically use the firewall-friendly HTTP transport protocol.
