APIs - Backbone of Mobile Apps Integrated Web Solutions
Software usually requests other software to do some of the functions for it. To make this possible, the program which asks uses a set of requests which are standardized, known as the API. API or Application programming interface is a set of programs used as an interface used by components of software to communicate with each other.
Almost all the applications depend on APIs, as to how these things have to be installed in various applications. API helps in accessing the file system in a proper way. API is a technology which allows a set of apps or a set of websites to communicate with each other. APIs make it possible to work in a systematic manner in a heterogeneous application atmosphere.
Mobiles and APIs
With the help of APIs, the task of developing apps for mobiles has become much easier. The growth of API has been fueled because of the growth of the many mobile devices. It has to be noted that an API is needed for creating a native mobile application. They are important since they support many devices.
For the purpose of exchanging data, an iPhone app for example, is connected to a Web API. If photo has to be shared, Instagram API is used. With the help of API, mobile sites can be created; apps for Android, iPhone as well as iPads can be created.
Advantages of APIs -
€ One of the biggest obstacles which affect the performance of a mobile app is Network traffic. Splice, an API mash-up too helps to reduce the amount of data returned. This is possible by
trimming the output of API. Thus it helps in the right way of memory utilization and helps in improving the performance of the mobile apps.
€ If you want quotes from both Forex as well as equity, the long way out would be to make a request to XigniteBATRealTime for the equity quote and then display it to the screen. The same procedures have to be repeated for the next quotes. With the help of an API, you can save the battery life of your mobile by using mash-up-tools. All the data will be directed to a single API call. This also improves the performance of the mobile app.
€ API mash-ups help in processing API calls in parallel. With the help of Splice, an API mash-up tool, the request is split into two parts. It can get data parallel from both the APIs and also return the output.
€ Splice allows returning of data into multiple formats. This allows the freedom to make use of the data format which is most suitable for a mobile app.
Mobile apps these days are getting more and more complex every day. Hence it is important to give more attention to performance. For gaining this goal, API mash-up tools are of great help. Flexible API mash-up tools can power up your mobile apps.
