After API installation, the PC structure will be as follows:
3rd party SW
API Interface

Drivers
Physical peripheral (USB)
More detailed:
Figure 6-3. API Overview.
The API is implemented in Java so any operating system with an implementation of
the Java Virtual Machine may be compatible with the API including Windows, Linux
and OS/X.
The API interface is implemented by means of JSON REST Webservices, which
warranties a great compatibility with any programming language that includes JSON
REST Support. There are many languages that support this; the API documentation
has examples for at least PHP, C# and Java.
The 3rd party integrator will receive an API installer from Ojmar and will install it in
the PC.
This API includes documentation explaining how to implement communication with
the API, and how to implement the functions to be able to make all the system work
correctly.
