Working with APIs

APIs provide a way to build JReport components and services into other applications, thus integrating JReport with existing platform infrastructure. This chapter is aimed at Java developers wanting to understand how JReport works, and how to write Java code that uses the API effectively.

The comprehensive Java doc matrix covering all the classes and methods of the API is available in <install_root>\help\api. This chapter of the user guide is an introduction and overview of the APIs so that the vastness of the Java docs will be easier to master.

Beyond that are explanations of use cases, with examples of code.
