The .NET API provides easy access to data stored in the database without the need for a developer to ever write a line of SQL code or to understand the database schema, providing for seamless future upgrades. Consistency, discoverability and simplicity make building applications with the Ektron API quick, easy and efficient.
As part of the software installation Ektron provides more than 80 pre-built implementations of the .NET APIs in the form of server controls ranging from simple controls to compound controls. Many more controls can be found at the Ektron Exchange, a community featuring a “one-stop shop” for developers that offers a variety of community benefits and features, including the latest news, “Best Practice” advice from Ektron experts, pre-built code, server controls, widgets and more.
Web services
The Ektron Web Services API exposes the functionality of the .NET Assembly through the use of SOAP to HTTP, allowing developers to create pages that offer content to any Web-enabled device (and also to consume existing Web Services). Ektron's Web Services can return data separated from presentation and, in combination with XML support, let consuming applications retrieve XML data independent of presentation and repurpose it. This is often the right choice when integrating Ektron into an overall IT infrastructure.
