Data Access and Storage APIs provide access to a wide range of system processes, including indexing, transfer, transformation and presentation. They make up a main driver for clients that interface the resources managed by the system or accessible through facilities available within the system.
A large number of APIs are dedicated to meet data access requirements including APIs of services, service plugins, client-side libraries, server-side libraries and front-end interfaces.
This document outlines the design rational and the key features for those APIs.
